Movie Review-- Valkyrie


Valkyrie

Genre: War/Action

Summary: Upstaning German military men attempt to assasinate Hitler and end the war- True Story.

My Grade: %97


Pros:
  • The men who stood up to Hitler deserve recognition
  • Well portrayed, very realistic and historically accurate (as far as I can determine without further research)
  • Compelling acting by a great cast
  • Great conclusion- I really liked the monologue overtone during the execution scenes. It reinforced why they did what they did, even if it failed
Cons:
  • Very British Germans
  • Realistic executions 
  • Though it doesn't delve into the morals of assasination, it assumes assasination as a viable option to stop Hitler
  • Brief Language
