A decent flick.

As a historian who specifically orients himself into the period of and surrounding WW2 I found this film to be a very accurate portrayal of the subject. The actors played their roles very well with the expception of Kenneth Brannagh whos portrayal should receive an Oscar nod. The critisim of the actors use of non accented dialoge is to me a benefit, as I am seldom taken out of films that attempt to do accents and poorly. I am refering to another movie The Devils Own with Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt, who received enourmous critisim for his very poor Irish lilt. This movie stays on point, focuses on what is need to focus on, and delivers a stellar product that is worth the cost of admission.

Anyone who has anything bad to say about Tom Cruise's ability to act please watch "A Few Good Men". Best movie ever and his acting in this movie was just as professional. Very enjoyable and interesting.

Brilliant movie, very close to actual story. A few embelishments along the way but that's par for the course for all Holywood movies based on true stories. Tom Cruise did quite well, even though I think he's a train-wreck of a human being personally, professionally I think he's a good actor. For those that complain that this movie is not in german or not with accents, this movie would not have come out in mainstream theatres if it was in german and most of the actors that are in it are classically trained British actors and getting them to brutalize an accent even when they'd be speaking english anyway doesn't make much sense. All in all it was worth the admission price, and even though ever

This movie follows 3 h's. The first one being heroic. This is because it shows how some people tried eliminating Hitler, for the good of Germany. The second one is historical because it gives true facts, on true events. It helps us to revise our history, or learn more. The third one is hell. This is because, it must have been difficult in achieving on of the most dangerous, impossible goal, a 3.5 star. Look for more of my reviews on My Cineplex, and Tribute.ca.

I loved it. It was well made, although a german accent throughout would be more real, rather then british and american accents.

fell asleep during part of the movie, Tom Cruise speaks with no accent and is a brutal. Wait until it comes to rent if you want to learn some history. Not worth the price of admission.

Great movie; based on a fascinating historical event.

While Tom Cruise was fair at best in portraying Claus Von Stauffenburg, the supporting cast (Terrance Stamp, Kenneth Branagh, etc) absolutely makes this movie, which does a fine job of telling the story of the little-known German resistors within the Third Reich, many of whom risked and lost everything in an attempt to stop one of history's most most evil tyrants.

I thought this film was garbage Tom can't act it looked as if this was another Mission Imposible movie. I was offended by such a bad cast as well. I hope he sticks to action films that are ment to be action films nothing more nothing less.
