I was eager to see this film and finally got around to it.
The story is based on actual events that took place during Hitlers tenure as Fuhrer.
A group of military officers political figures and civic leaders some of which had access to his headquarters, bunker and personal residence plotted and attempted Hitlers assasination.
I wanted to really like this one and I did but the flaws were hard to ignore.
Ill let you decide for yourselves.
All in all it was a film worth watching.

It was interesting but I thought Cruise was a bad choice for Von Stauffenberg who was tall and aristocratic. Also, I really prefer Germans with German accents not British.

Thats what I had trouble with. Also there was some element missing, something I cant quite put my finger on. Still I enjoyed the film.

Even though I don't like Cruise I watched the movie anyway, just for it's entertainment value. It was that, entertaining.

I agree completely,Lon.
If the movie gossip is to be believed,Cruise was the one who didn't want to try and use a German accent,though I'm sure all the talented British actors in the movie would have had no problems whatsoever.
oh and some german geezer nomie is on about :sneaky::sneaky:
