tom cruise plays an eye-patch wearing dude called colonel stoffenberg ... he is a member of hitler's nazi army but he's also a member of a secret group of dissidents that are plotting to kill hitler ... that's basically the story ... and it's a true story by the way ... the obvious problem then is that we already know that they will not succeed because as we all know hitler killed himself in the end ... so that's really the only bad thing i have to say about this movie ... other than that i thought it was pretty damn good ... and they do a superb job of recreating the whole nazi germany setting ... from the costumes to the buildings to everything ... and i liked how they let the actors talk in their own accents ... so some guys had a british accent ... others had an american accent ... and some had a german accent ... obviously that comes across as a bit weird ... but i prefer it over everyone trying to fake a german accent ... so yeah ... what else ... it's two hours long ... and for most of the movie we are watching the plot to kill hitler being formed ... which kind of takes a while ... and you might find yourself saying would you just do it already ... i'm not saying that it gets boring ... i'm just saying it takes a while for the plan to materialize ... but once the plan finally does go into action ... the movie really takes off ... and even though we know what will happen ... we are still somehow disappointed when we learn that it failed ... like we didn't know that was going to happen ... one last thing ... eddie izzard has a role in this movie ... it's not a big role but it's not that small either ... and he's good ... gotta love eddie izzard ... great movie ... 8/10 ...
