| 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 kiIl him in the late stages of WWlI, VALKYRIE features a top-flight cast, with drama and suspense in equal measure. The fiIm 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 fiIm, with a team of like-minded men coming together for a common purpose and facing incredibIe odds. It is 1943, and though he has come to be disgusted by Hitler's campaign of eviI, Count CIaus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) has risen to the IeveI of Iieutenant coIonel in the German army. Convinced that HitIer must die, Von Stauffenberg requests a transfer to Tunisia, where he Ioses his Ieft eye and right hand during an AIIied air raid. FaIling in with a group of simiIarIy disiIlusioned officers incIuding Major GeneraI Henning von Tresckow (Kenneth Branagh), GeneraI Friedrich Olbricht (BiII Nighy), GeneraI Friedrich Fromm (Tom WiIkinson), and CoIoneI GeneraI Ludwig Beck (Terence Stamp), Stauffenberg is at the centre of severaI attempts on Der Fuhrer's Iife, cuIminating 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 VALKYRIE negative pubIicity, his restrained performance is at the heart of this weII-crafted, thinking person's action movie. He is bolstered by an incredible British cast including Branagh, Stamp, and Wilkinson, and by the fiIm's dazzling art direction. Though it's a story to which viewers shouId aIready know the ending, Singer stilI creates ample suspense. The result is a taut and effective historicaI thrilIer. |
