Esta pelicula no me impresiono mucho debe ser porque ya conocia el final pero la actuacion de Cruise dejo mucho que desear aunque tuvo cierto momento de suspenso pienso que la historia no aporto nada...

If you can get past Tom Cruise, it's pretty solid. I like Historical stuff so it was pretty captivating to me, but if you don't like that stuff, it might be a skip.

After watching Argo last week, I remembered that my wife spoke very highly of Valkyrie when it came out because it was great at building tension even though you knew the outcome. I never did get around to watching it - something just didn't pull me in. Bryan Singer has a release this weekend that I have negative interest in ever seeing. Maybe that also made me think of this.
This movie opens with some narration in German by Tom…

Really well made film that I enjoy watching each time. The tension is gripping at times.

Nos últimos anos da II Guerra Mundial, um grupo de oficiais de alto escalão do exército alemão, descontentes com a implosão de seu país por Hitler, arquitetam um plano para assassinar o Führer, tomar Berlim e, com isso, negociar um cessar-fogo que pouparia a vida de milhares de militares e civis.
O problema de Valkyrie, que aflige a maioria dos filmes que relatam fatos verídicos, é que todo mundo sabe como acaba a história (a operação do título obviamente dá…

McQuarrie and Singer craft a surprisingly good WWII drama, apparently moulded in the style of the old school WWII epics of the past.
By 'old school' I mean: excellent production values; a particular eye for visual detail; a massive Hollywood star; back up from top-line British character-acting talent/old gits and it being based on an impossibly-exciting true story from the time.
A decent amount of tension is generated considering we know how it ends, it's just a shame it appears they couldn't agree if the cast were going to attempt German accents or not. -
Når scientologen Tom Cruise annonserte at han skulle spille en tysk oberst som prøvde å ta livet av selveste sjefsjævelen Hitler var det mange som reagerte med vantro og spesielt tyskerne var fint lite begeistret for dette. Selv var jeg full av forventninger og det var slettes ikke så dumt.
Bryan Singer sto foran en monstrøs oppgave år han tok på seg oppgaven med å filmatisere denne historien om tidens mest overdådige forsøk på å styrte Hitler en gang for…

Valkyrie is a good World War II movie and fits well with the many World War II movies made in the 1960s and 1970s. It’s not a “great” Oscar-bait type movie, but Singer tells the story well and the acting is superb.
The story of Valkyrie is about the famous assassination attempt on Hitler by members of his own high command. Previously, I had known that there was a bomb in a briefcase that got placed too far under a…

This movie should really be called "Tom Cruise Wears an Eye Patch and Doesn't Have a German Accent."
I think that about sums it up, right? Oh yeah, and there's Nazis. So.... yay.

Brilliantly acted and palm-sweatingly suspenseful recreation of the infamous failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. Despite the outcome being inevitable (assuming you have any level of historical knowledge), director Bryan Singer wrings tension out of every viable sequence, presenting lesser known intricacies and character interactions to fuse the piece with thrills. The question isn't will they get caught, but rather when. The ensemble cast (particularly Bill Nighy and Cruise himself) deliver the goods and the period detail is atmospherically reconstructed. Much underrated.

The cast in this is superb, the film not so much. The story based on truth was interesting and the characters involved too. I didn't like the way it was all put together, it came across rather dull and at points boring.

yeah, im a bit slow on the uptake sometimes i think
i would have enjoyed this more if i understood what they were doing ..
