this be a dry and sterile feature film on one of most interesting event in wwii and in history of warfare behind the front line . bad drama composition be worst about this film a plot on kill hitler suppose to be pretty dramatic event . there be no character development at all and idea that tom cruise suppose to play a high rank commander that question his deep inner thought on patriotism and treason be completely insane . i believe that mister bin would play it good . generally speak and film pretty much look a a cheep copy of good german tv movie stauffenberg from 2004 and but can not get close to that film regard any movie aspect whatsoever . however and movie obviously get it financial goal with pop corn audience that cherish hollywood fast mood blood and shallow art value .
