Movie Review: Valkyrie

Checked out Valkyrie today with my brother out in Natomas. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Tom Cruise, but was hating the movie after about 15 minutes. The movie has an amazing cast, plot, etc., but I couldn't get over the fact that I knew Hitler would live. I walked out of the theater with a headache from stressing about a failed plot and deaths of conspirators from the moment the film started. Arrrg... still have a headache thinking about it.

Recommendation: Worth watching, but wait till it comes out on video.

Summary from The Internet Movie Database (IMDB): At the height of WW2, a group of high-ranking German officers hatched a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and seize power of the military command in order to end the war. The operation was codenamed "Valkyrie", for the emergency plan that was meant to be used in case of a revolt against the Nazi government. This plan had been modified by the conspirators to ensure their success, but for various reasons the plot failed when finally carried out on 20 July 1944.
