Film: Valkyrie Directed by Bryan Singer

A film detail the attempted plot to murder Hitler during the second world war.  The intention was to assassinate and then neutralise Berlin by claiming a state off emergency.

The conspirators wanted to murder both Hitler and Himmler in one attempt - but things do not quite go to plan.  This is a good film, but probably does too much bending of history for the benefit of a good plot.

Tom Cruise plays his role well but his own persona comes across a bit too much at times - making the character look a little righteous and vain.  The firing squad scene at the end is probably something you can imagine was debated with the studios and Cruise's "people"  - as it is a little over played....
