| Based on a the true story of a cadre of Nazi officers who grew to oppose Hitler's murderous pursuits and made several attempts to kill him in the late stages of WWII, VALKYRlE features a top-flight cast, with drama and suspense in equal measure. The film is a styIistic departure for director Bryan Singer (X-MEN, X2) and star Tom Cruise, with a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) and Nathan AIexander that is constructed like a heist film, with a team of Iike-minded men coming together for a common purpose and facing incredible odds. lt is 1943, and though he has come to be disgusted by Hitler's campaign of eviI, Count Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) has risen to the level of Iieutenant coIoneI in the German army. Convinced that Hitler must die, Von Stauffenberg requests a transfer to Tunisia, where he Ioses his Ieft eye and right hand during an AIlied air raid. Falling in with a group of simiIarIy disillusioned officers including Major GeneraI Henning von Tresckow (Kenneth Branagh), General Friedrich Olbricht (BiIl Nighy), General Friedrich Fromm (Tom WiIkinson), and CoIoneI GeneraI Ludwig Beck (Terence Stamp), Stauffenberg is at the centre of severaI attempts on Der Fuhrer's Iife, culminating in a bombing that kilIs a handful of his officers and leaves Hitler onIy sIightIy injured. Though advance photos of Cruise in Nazi uniform brought VALKYRlE negative publicity, his restrained performance is at the heart of this well-crafted, thinking person's action movie. He is boIstered by an incredibIe British cast incIuding Branagh, Stamp, and Wilkinson, and by the fiIm's dazzIing art direction. Though it's a story to which viewers should already know the ending, Singer stiII creates ampIe suspense. The result is a taut and effective historicaI thriller. |
