Very well done and kept one'sattention. I had to look up the history afterward. I wondered what happened to the would be assassin's wife and children.

Prior to seeing this, I knew relatively little about the plot to kill Hitler. This Bryan Singer directed film starring Tom Cruise was captivating and grabbed my attention from the get-go. Well acted and directed the picture and audio quality of the blu-ray was excellent though short of reference quality. Extras were informative with 2 commentaries - one with Tom Cruise the director and writer. Other extras dealt with the sets and historical qualities. Also a Q&A with Tom Cruise and Bryan Singer. Recommended!

This movie is easy to understand if you have a little knowledge of the various attempts on Hitler's life. The movie moves along very fast, and it does not jump around like so many of the newer movies do. The suspense and excitement keep you riveted on what might happen next. And there are no bad words used; that in itself is very good. Even so, I would only recommend this movie to adults.

I wont take for granted that your average American knows how WW2 ended or how Hitler died. Depressing but true. Most might just be in suspense wondering if this assassination plot works out. So as a suspense film about assassinating the most notorious and threatening monster of the 20th century, it should have worked. It didnt. And its super hard to put the finger on why. Fine enough performances, everything feels right on the surface. Just something failed to click, to connect to make this a masterwork of the genre. Pardon my lack of articulation on this but that's how I feel.

enjoyed the movie in the theatre, now on blu-ray it's an excellent addition to my collection. there were many attempts to assassinate Hitler during the war, but this was the closest anyone came. A good retelling of the story.
