you dont need a eyepatch to see this great film.


The nazi films have been made most by various Europe film company, from the excellence Downfall, to the fake bill counterfeit. Both have been nominated by best foreign film. Now come something that can only be heard in the history book.
Who ever knew there were ever gonna made a movie like it. With the great suspense from the french connection, to the same ideal planning style, of the great escape. then this film have it:
There's a party that have it been conspiracy the assassination of Adolf Hitler, trying to explode the plane that the fuhrer was in. Desperation time came to them, when the agreed to recruit someone that can pull it off. Enter Cololnel Stauffenberg(Tom Cruise) with a plan that can change the history of the German Army. Project Valkyrie involve in the reservation army that the nazy had for any invitation. Their plan goes like this killed firs Hitler in he's bunker, then later send a message to the reserved army saying"that the SS are talking over and immediately send a warning of there arrest". Talking over all the government's building. With the support of General Olbricht(Bill Nighy), Ludwig Beck(Terence Stamp). Project Valkyrie is a go.
But thing change when they want someone more valuable then Hitler. Now is a matter of time when operation is taking place, but some of the party are starting to doubting if they go through. This is the story of the peoples who wanted to change Germany, and kill the monster that rule it.
Bottom line there's no real acting here. Cause most of the camera time is taken by Tom Cruise. Now hes performance ain't that bad, on he make it believe that he's a man who want change, and willing to change he's country. There's no background to some of this characters. Just a couple of men in a mansion plotting there next move. No drama of the family, no decision are gonna be made, just going with the plan. An it work.
Most of the story is focus on on how they pull the project, which really is good. From the time they make it their first intent, to the desperate time to get the bomb ready, following the same story narration of the inside man. The film is well toll from the perspective of the people that made the decision to change their government. I like also the start of the film showing the anthem and oath that they had to Hitler. but the best part go to when they think they have succeeded, and how they are already making the arrest.
Brian Singer didn't came well with he's last film, but coming back to the roots that he begun, there's no questioning the true art of the suspense. With great wide shot of the federal building, to the high tension that actor show. this films is a must. But it would work if they have shown some drama to the story.
The film is good not a Oscar worthy good, but good. This is the only film that right now is showing potential in being that great suspense movie that we waited on. So be the first and see that there were man that didn't agreed on the fuhrer command. That when theirs Tyranny, a conspiracy is gonna be made.
