Movie making, and storytelling at the highest level. What strikes me about this film is the craftsmanship, editing and acting. Because I am a history buff, and I know the story so well it was like watching history come to life, the film actually felt like a living document. This is excellence. 5 *****STARS, IMHO

If this was on TV, like an HBO original movie. It'd get great hype and everyone would appreciate it. The movie never skipped a beat, kept that tension up, even though everyone knows what the deal is. Even then, it painted a picture worth lookin at....

I was surprised to find that I liked it. I held my judgement of it until after I checked the facts surrounding the real life events to really see how much had been glamourized and was relieved to find it was pretty accurate to what took place. Cruise plays Claus von Stauffenberg in a plot to kill Hitler and assume control over the government and arrest the SS, and he plays it without too much of his usual emotional overkill. Part of me wished to learn more about the other members of the group, but that would have pushed the length longer and I think it's long enough, plus Singer likely wanted to make this personal so chose von Stauffenberg's character to the center and use his family to make it more personal. It's not an action movie - more a low tension drama so it may be slow for some people expecting a thriller. All the actors do a fine job however I will echo the other sentiments that there is something lost hearing all the English and British accents in a German historical piece. Either way, decent watch.
