Rating: - The Plot To Kill Hitler
I just so the Tom Cruise movie on this Christmas day of 2008. I in all honesty this made for TV movie was a bit better done. Brad Davis seemed to bring more depth to Von Staufenberg than did Cruise. So I would give this 3 stars and Valkyrie 2 and a half.
Rating: - Lame and no sense of drama
David Wolper's full length TV feature revisted the subject of his Emmy winning Appointment with Destiny episode on the July plot but the result was far inferior to the original. Lots of historical inaccuracies and no drama. The viewer is not engaged with the characters. Definately movie of the week stuff.
Rating: - why not available on dvd?
This is one great movie.What i would like to know is why is it still not available on dvd? Can the film distributors please take note and do the needful soonest?
Rating: - Tragic Heroism
One would be hard pressed to find a tale more inspiring and devastating than the plot to kill Adolf Hitler on July 20th, 1944.
Led by Colonel Claus Josef Von Stauffenberg, a high ranking German officer, devout Catholic, scholar and badly wounded veteran of WW1,
the element of chance in the ultimate failure of his heroic historical gesture is chilling. Played by a youthful Brad Davis, the gentle and firm nature of the man is conveyed well.
Slowly becoming aware of the atrocities that the Third Reich were committing in Poland and the Eastern Front in general, Stauffenberg
originally planned to a coup--develop a shadow government and overthrow the SS, thereby rendering Hitler powerless. Reality set in after awhile, however, and Stauffenberg was granted the privilege and curse of seeing Adolf Hitler then as we see him now: a mass murdering psychopath.
