Reviews

New York Post - Kyle Smith
A taut suspense flick for grown-ups.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Tom Cruise is perfectly satisfactory, if not electrifying, in the leading role.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The mechanics of the actual plot are pretty amazing. Singer has assembled a top-notch international cast.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
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 - Kirk Honeycutt
Singer has crafted a fine film. One just wishes for greater details -- and a different ending.
