The historical context of the film is skillfully recreated and Singer is a master at raising the bar on tension level. All the main cast disappear into their roles and are almost unrecognizable. At times, the film can be slow and lifeless, though, and doesn't hold the same emotional punch as a similar film, such as, say, "Downfall."

This film is incredibly dull. The acting is as bland as can be. Singer's a great filmmaker, but this is his weakest effort. Tom Cruise, I'd appreciate it if you actually, oh I don't know, TRY next time!

An overwrought, but acceptable version of the plot that failed to kill Hitler; Cruise blends in nicely to his character and there's some genuine suspense to be found, despite knowing the outcome. What helps is the meticulous location shooting and the seamless supporting cast of familiars, even though no one bothers to alter their original accents. Final Grade: B

Didn't like this at all. Maybe there was a scene or two i found interesting but this is by far Bryan Singers worst film. And that includes Apt Pupil. And Tom Cruise is an actor i really admire, but the plotting and the clunky dialogue fall around him. Without him, this film would be unwatchable.

A surprisingly effective war thriller that I liked a whole lot more than other people. Many of them really giving Tom Cruise a bit too hard of the time by the way I don't like Tom Cruise's acting but people were acting like is was flubbing lines. Either way the story is interesting and the accents are just whatever the director should have made a consensus there but the movie still is good, because the story is just that interesting.

I had heard this movie was shelved for a couple years, so that made me a little cautious of this movie. But my fears were unfounded. It was pretty dang good. I mean I knew how it ended so any chance at suspense was gone. But it was good. Not great, but definitely watchable.
