The mission, to kill Hitler. The man Col. Stauffenberg. A man that has given an eye, three fingers and a hand for the motherland-Germany.
Valkyrie is a code-name for a plan to assassinate Hitler and seize control of the government. Col. Claus von Stauffenberg {played masterfully by Tom Cruise} is the one who must kill Hitler.
The film is intense all the way through and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Pretty clean for a WWII film as well, with a few swear words and some executions/suicides at the end. Stauffenberg kisses his wife a few times and that is about it.
It's very historically accurate and based on actual events. So I'm going to give the exciting and accurate "Valkyrie" 4 stars. { There is one thing I did not like, the accents were British instead of German, and Tom Cruise sports no accent at all.}
I agree that the accents were annoying. Good movie, though! I didn't realize Hitler had nearly been assassinated so many times until I watched this.
ReplyDeleteYeah it was cool how historically accurate it was, which made it very enjoyable for me.... not counting those accents.
