Valkryrie


This movie was made a year ago when Cruise left Paramount because Sumner Redstone’s wife did’t like his antics on Oprah and on the Today Show. It sat on the shelf for a year because the movie stinks. Guess what? Cruise is back at Paramount, but he’s promoting this movie as if it was made yesterday.
Don’t see it. If you want to see a good Nazi film rent “Black Book” directed by the man who brought you “Basic Instinct” and “Robo Cop”, Paul Verhoeven. Carice van Houton who plays Tom Cruise’s wife in Valkyrie is the star of “Black Book” Her talent is wasted in Valkyrie. “Black Book” has all the gore, violence, and sex you would expect from a film about Hitler and the SS. It also has a story which helps.
For an excellent documentary the best that I have found is, The Nazis - A warning from History
~ Samuel West, Fritz Arlt, Rudi Bamber, and Gerda Bernhardt (DVD - Jul 19, 2005) which can be purchased at Amazon.com. It has footage that you have never seen regarding the concentration camps and Hitler.

Verdict: Tom has lost his MOJO in this puppy. See Tom in “Tropic Thunder” and see why he is still a star.
