El Caso de Valquiria como cinta es muy interesante pues a pesar de que todos sabemos el desenlace, la realización logra mantenernos pegados a la butaca pidiendo de forma imposible que el complot funcione y dejándonos al final con un montón de "Y si%u2026"
the action is traded for suspense in the movie, which is when things really click
Singer can only touch on the surface of each development. It would help if we could see the failure reflected in von Stauffenberg's one good eye, but Cruise, alas, can offer little help. He's just Tom Cruise in an eyepatch.
Maintaining tension in the face of a foregone conclusion is no mean trick, but Mr. Singer and company do as well as anyone could hope.
It's never a pretty sight when a limited performer tries to "stretch" by way of cosmetics
It's the perfect film for our age of reassessment and ambiguity.
Earnest and understated movie about the General's plot against Hitler. Despite Cruise's reputation for derring-do characters, this is a very human German colonel that he plays.
[A] pleasing throwback to 1970s war-intrigue pictures. [Blu-ray]
...finally can't help but come off as something of a minor disappointment...
The movie proceeds to show how everything, little by little, falls out of place -- not the most thrilling of events to cover, but interesting all the same.
[Cruise] brings a gung-ho excitement and energy that's generally missing from war movies today (they're more concerned with being stern and glum and anti-war).
An interminable costume drama strictly for Tom Cruise fans and for World War II buffs.
The movie looks good and seems to hit all the right notes, yet never quite connects or resonates like it should.
A thrilling political war movie that sees Tom Cruise and a stellar British cast of high-ranking German officers plot to assassinate Hitler and end the war before the Germany they love is destroyed.
A well-wrought thriller about one group's attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
Este "revisionismo" histórico pode ser bastante prejudicial e mesmo perigoso ao se tornar um primeiro passo para algo muito mais grave e que deve ser combatido com todas as forças: a negação do Holocausto.
The tension that builds throughout Valkyrie is palpable and the plot is incredibly compelling.
A historically respectful, morally careful film.
With a more intelligent and taut screenplay, Valkyrie could have been much more riveting rather than merely be sporadically thrilling, mostly bland and, ultimately, underwhelming.
When he is at the top of his game, as he is here, Cruise's charisma is blinding.
