Reviews

New York Post -
A taut suspense flick for grown-ups.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Tom Cruise is perfectly satisfactory, if not electrifying, in the leading role.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
The mechanics of the actual plot are pretty amazing. Singer has assembled a top-notch international cast.
|
|
ReelViews -
Valkyrie, despite being a more straightforward thriller, is less gripping than "Downfall," the most recent film in which Hitler had significant screen time.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Singer has crafted a fine film. One just wishes for greater details -- and a different ending.
