A realistic adaptation of a true story, this film follows an assasination attempt on Hitler, masterminded by Colenel voin Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise). Very well-adapted, this film really shows the tension and fear in the Nazi government. This film was of interest to me, as I study history, and from what I could tell, it was historically accurate. My only problems with this film, are that some of the characters look very similiar, so it can be quite hard to distinguish between them, and also at the beginning, it is very difficult to hear what the characters are saying. Apart from this, it was a good film with an interesting plotline.
