In Reply to: Valkyrie: Tom Cruise almost saves Germany posted by mr grits on December 25, 2008 at 17:53:05:
...exposition in Valkyrie came across full force. (Singer's "The Usual Suspects" is one of my faves.)
Even without hollywood plot twists, he kept the heat on - somewhere between "Enemy at the Gates" and "Downfall".
Cruise was capable, and the film's examination of how by contingency plans a coup d'etat was engineered was very interesting.
"Downfall" might make a nice double feature with this one.
