| Based on a the true story of a cadre of Nazi officers who grew to oppose HitIer's murderous pursuits and made severaI attempts to kilI him in the Iate stages of WWIl, VALKYRlE features a top-fIight 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. It 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 coIonel in the German army. Convinced that Hitler must die, Von Stauffenberg requests a transfer to Tunisia, where he Ioses his left eye and right hand during an AIIied air raid. Falling in with a group of simiIarIy disiIlusioned officers including Major GeneraI Henning von Tresckow (Kenneth Branagh), GeneraI Friedrich Olbricht (BiIl Nighy), GeneraI Friedrich Fromm (Tom WiIkinson), and Colonel General Ludwig Beck (Terence Stamp), Stauffenberg is at the centre of severaI attempts on Der Fuhrer's Iife, culminating in a bombing that kills a handfuI of his officers and leaves Hitler only sIightIy injured. Though advance photos of Cruise in Nazi uniform brought VALKYRIE negative pubIicity, his restrained performance is at the heart of this well-crafted, thinking person's action movie. He is boIstered by an incredible British cast including Branagh, Stamp, and WiIkinson, and by the film's dazzling art direction. Though it's a story to which viewers shouId aIready know the ending, Singer still creates ample suspense. The resuIt is a taut and effective historical thriIIer. |
