THIS MOVIE IS VERY WELL ACTED. THERE IS NOT A BAD PERFORMANCE IN IT. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A CLASSIC ONE DAY. TOM NIGHY DESERVES AND OSCAR. WHEN HIS CHARACTER [GEN. OLBRECT] IS EXECUTED, IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES.
An expertly told, dramatic piece that is really a retelling of a Documentary on the subject. It's worth seeing, especially if you do not know the story.
Awesome movie. They need to do more movies inside wartime Germany.
Amazing story with exceptional actors...well done!
Well done and Cruise among others was excellent. Good story that needed to be told as well.
I thought the moving was extremely well done. Tom Cruise with a German accent would have been ridiculous and phoney. I also think speaking German with subtitles would have been over the top. They did start off speaking German and slowly worked it into English which I thought was well done. I also was in tears in the end, because it hit home for me that finally someone had the guts to make a movie depicting Germans as not all war mongering, Jew killing animals. As I am of German heritage and my mother and sister survived Dresden, I am grateful that the truth that not all Germans were behind Hitler has finally come out. The bravery of these men and the risks they took should not go unhea
Aside from a personal vendetta, I don't see why anybody can have a problem with Tom Cruise in this movie. The only thing that I had a problem with is the fact that it was all in English. I'd rather it be all in German with subtitles. I give it 4-stars. Another great WWII movie to add to the collection when it comes on blu-ray.
Great movie, great acting.
I was surprised Tom did as well as he did in terms of his acting. The true story is the real interesting aspect of this movie. I'd say so good is the story itself that the accents and any minor production flaws become irrelevent. Have an open mind and go see it. signed............GWH
Solid film across the board
