Cinema Review - Valkyrie
Honourable, brave, decisive, and a fierce love for his country, these are all the qualities of the very complicated and heroic Col Claus Von Stauffenberg who dared to attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, however, Tom Cruise’s performance takes away from the otherwise good plot line.
