Reviews
75
A taut suspense flick for grown-ups.
75
Tom Cruise is perfectly satisfactory, if not electrifying, in the leading role.
75
The mechanics of the actual plot are pretty amazing. Singer has assembled a top-notch international cast.
75
Valkyrie, despite being a more straightforward thriller, is less gripping than "Downfall," the most recent film in which Hitler had significant screen time.
70
Singer has crafted a fine film. One just wishes for greater details -- and a different ending.
