A: The true story of a group of high level German politicians and military men who attempt a coup on Hitler's life and regime during World War II.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Sizemore, Eddie Izzard, Terence Stamp, Carice van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Christian Berkel, Kevin McNally, Tom Hollander, David Bamber, Halina Reijn
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Go! It's Tom Cruise presents: History for Dummies! And let's face it, there's no better way to learn history than in a dark theater with a bucket of popcorn and a dramatic score pounding through your bones and pushing you to the edge of your seat.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Unfortunately, he doesn't talk about Scientology or how much he loves Katie Holmes at any point, so the movie is basically humorless. Thankfully, if you need a good laugh at Tom Cruise's expense that stuff is all up on YouTube.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: Not really, but it's always inspiring to see resistance forces rising up and committing high treason in order to do the right thing, in a society filled with sheep following orders. There was a time when people were willing to die for what they believed in. So maybe you'd die a little bit sooner? But at least you'd go down knowing that your life had purpose and meaning.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: As entertaining as it is, it's got one major thing going against it, when it comes to award recognition... It's entertaining.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: Take Tom Cruise's performance from any other action thriller where he plays a ballsy hero who will stop at nothing to see that justice is served, and cut and paste it here. He never seems to get tired of that same old performance, and apparently neither do we.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: The pace and the music keep the story suspenseful, making it not just a war movie, but also a political thriller that actually is thrilling.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: For such a complicated political plot, the writers manage to keep it as clear and simple as they can. You still need a military school degree to catch all the nuances of this intricate plan to make the army eat its own tail, but it's a good introduction to how clever they had to be to get as far as they did.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?

Good review, Im somewhat excited for this film. The trailer looked cool and it looks like one of those movies that tend to surprise you when you were expecting it to suck.
Whoever wrote this review is a complete moron with horrible taste in films. The acting is HORRENDOUS in this film.
The historical illiteracy here is unbelievable. "Resistance forces doing the right thing"? The cream of the German officer corps, including Rommel and von Rundstedt, held Hitler in contempt because he was leading Germany to ruin. Had the plot succeeded, they would have prosecuted the war with far more intelligence. They had no problem with fighting us, just that it wasn't being done properly.
