valkyrie

Bryan Singer has done a splendid job with valkyrie. It has all the necessary components of a great movie -action, drama, story and a wonderful cast. Traditionally moviemakers love to make movies with a happy ending.. Singer follows the new trend of making a historical movie in which the good guys loose. Although the end is known, the director has obviously put in a lot of effort in making the movie worthwhile. The plot revolves around a young kernel, a true patriot of Germany who is sick of the unnecessary war that is tearing apart Europe. He sets out to assassinate Hitler and set up an immediate replacement government using the same scheme Hitler had planned to protect his regeme if he died. Ace star Tom Cruise wonderfully fits in the character of the young Kernel.
The movie is dynamic. The director should have used a little more German in the movie, the language and the actors both look and sound too British.
The movie is a must watch, especially for those who are into historic flicks.
