Valkyrie

This movie is "eh." Maybe it was just "eh" because I was sitting in the second row third seat from the aisle, and I had a hard time understanding some of their accents? And they talked really fast sometimes! Damn! Should I go back to my ESL classes??!! Hahah! I thought I would absolutely love this movie because I love almost anything that has to do with war and victims of war, but this one was just okay. Some moments were really intense, and I certainly don't have a problem staring at Tom Cruise for a couple of hours. (Too bad he's weird. His hot points went down after that whole Katie Holmes thing started...) I've never heard of Operation Valkyrie until now. Since this movie was just based off of a true story, I don't know how much of it is factual. But it's good and sort of comforting to know that there were people trying to overthrow Hitler. All of these people were true heroes. They sacrificed their lives and their families to fight for righteousness and freedom. This movie gets ***.* (3.5 stars). :)
