I like movies about WW2, and will therefore probably enjoy this movie.

There are lots of Cruise bashers, and I do recognize that Cruise himself bashed in Oprah's couch. And he holds some peculiar beliefs as well . . .

But I have enjoyed his work in A Few Good Men, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, and Collateral. Hopefully, I can add Valkyrie to this list.

If Von Stauffenberg had been a suicide bomber the damned thing might have worked. Wrong culture. * - mr grits 11:00:04 12/26/08 (1)

  had this plot succeeded. Hitler micro-managed his Eastern campaign against opposition from his Generals; causing traffic jams, chaos + un-necessary delays Hitlerian pig-headedness was an ally to the Allies
  Putting the defence of Germany back in the hands of say, Erwin Rommel, ( who was alledgedly involved in the plot, and became one of its many victims ) with Hitler out of the way, might have prolonged the inevitable by many more months ( or, Heaven forbid, even brought about a reversal of fortune )
