Review of Valkyrie (2008) by Alexb. — 26 Dec 2008

A luring story of courage and defiance. obviosuly we know how it ends, so don't be critical of the rather straightforawd plot (as many are). and no, it's not a war movie so dont expect constant explosions and huge action scenes other.

Above all else, it's a testament to the men who had the guts to defy hitler's germany. Perhaps the film could have explored their motives more, but it did make clear the bravery inherent in them.

Still, it was fascinating to see how close Cruise's "coup" came to altering history; this movie explores the chapter history books left out.
