Valkyrie review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 09/21/12
Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) together with General Ludwig Beck (Stamp), Dr. Carl Goerdeler (McNally), and Erwin von Witzleben (Schofield) plan the assasintion of Adolf Hitler. Cinematography, performances and direction were really good. The film however was not as entertaining since some parts were a bit dragging. Screenplay were noteworthy with lines ""Long live sacred Germany!" and "My duty as an officer is no longer to save my country, but to save human lives. I cannot find one general in a position to confront Hitler with the courage to do it." from Stauffenberg. Lacks some spark or emotional connection from the first half of the movie. Valkyrie's intent though was well exhibited with aims to topple dictatorship, loyalty, bravery and conspiracy.
