VALKYRIE
Synopsis : Directed by Bryan Singer (“The Usual Suspects,” “Superman Returns,” “X Men,” “X2: X-Men: United”) and written by Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (“The Usual Suspects,” “The Way of the Gun”) and Nathan Alexander, “Valkyrie” reunites Singer and McQuarrie for the first time since their ground-breaking 1995 thriller “The Usual Suspects.”
Superstar Tom Cruise heads an international cast as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, the aristocratic German officer who led the heroic attempt to bring down the Nazi regime and end the war by planting a bomb in Hitler’s bunker. Also starring are Kenneth Branagh (“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”), Bill Nighy (“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”), Tom Wilkinson (“In the Bedroom”), Carice van Houten (“Black Book”), Eddie Izzard (“Ocean’s Thirteen”), Christian Berkel (“Black Book”), Thomas Kretschmann (“King Kong”), and Terrence Stamp (“Billy Budd,” “Superman,” “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace”).
The film is being produced by Singer, McQuarrie, and Gilbert Adler (“Superman Returns,” “Constantine”), with Chris Lee (“Superman Returns”) executive producing. Joining Singer behind the camera is a talented production team that includes director of photography Newton Thomas Sigel (“Superman Returns,” “X2”), costume designer Joanna Johnston (“Munich,” “War of the Worlds”), and editor John Ottman (“ Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “Superman Returns”).
The “July 20 Plot” on Hitler’s life is one of the most heroic but least known episodes of World War Two. Severely wounded in combat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg returns from Africa to join the German Resistance and help create Operation Valkyrie, the complex plan that will allow a shadow government to replace Hitler’s once he is dead. But fate and circumstance conspire to thrust Stauffenberg from one of many in the plot to a double-edged central role. Not only must he lead the coup and seize control of his nation’s government… He must kill Hitler himself.
Well, this movie was okay. Depends le. Whether you like the plot or the actors or the story. Well, I just watch it because it has two actors who I kinda like Tom Cruise and the other Vampire actor ( Victor in Underworld ). The movie has something to do with Hitler. Sorry le. World War history fail d. LoL. The movie had some bad side of it. Such as, there were some scenes where the mic was visible on top of the actors and I was like " Eh! theres a mic." Ha-ha. The Director fail le. Haih! A minor mistake like that will be a huge mistake in the Movie world. But the movie was okay le. Thriller kinda movie but not really thriller. Okay okay ne. Ha-ha. Not much comment. Pity Tom Cruise, a good and famous actor but Director not so good. Haih! Could been better.
