Valkyrie Starring Tom Cruise Movie Review by Peter Tosto
Tom Cruise is back in Valkyrie with a Great Performance and an Outstanding Supporting Cast.
Valkyrie Starring Tom Cruise Movie Review by
Valkyrie Starring Tom Cruise takes place during Adolf Hitler’s reign during Worl War II.
Tom Cruise plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and shares the screen with fellow actors Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Terrence Stamp, Eddie Izzard and more who all display grand performances.
The cast is outstanding in this film bringing a true story during a terrible time in history to life.
Valkyrie is the plan to kill Adolf Hitler the head of the Nazi Party. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) is blown up in the opening scene leaving Cruise’s character with one less hand and eye, but his mind and heart remain in the right place. Cruise meets Terence Stamp’s character Ludwig Beck who leads a group of Germans who plan to assassinate Hitler in an attempt to bring Germany back to a civilized respectable nation.
Valkyrie flows with a pace that keeps the audience completely intrigued. Tom Cruise pulls off this roll effortlessly.
I heard prior to going to Valkyrie that while watching Cruise on screen it is difficult to get his real life character out of your mind while trying to imagine him playing Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg. I did not find this to be the case. Cruise pulls off this roll along with his supporting cast providing us with Oscar performances in each and every scene.
Valkyrie keeps the audience in suspense even though we know the ending we find ourselves rooting for the success of Beck and Stauffenberg plan to pull off Hitler’s assassination. We find ourselves wishing for history to change; instead we are faced with reality through this suspenseful drama.
Valkyrie shows another side of World War II that for years we have not seen. Showing a side of Germans that actually despised Hitler and all he stood for. These men sacrificed their lives in an attempt to end Hitler’s reign.
Tom Cruise along with his supporting cast is riveting. He only jumped on one couch during the entire film. But other than that Valkyrie was worth the wait.
Valkyrie 3 out of 4 stars
