Valkyrie

2008
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists
PG-13

Well plotted but extremely poorly told historical thriller dealing with General Claus von Stauffenberg's (Tom Cruise) plan to put his plan to kill Hitler into effect, with government officials strongly declining.
With a story like this, many critics have said this could succeed with substantial limits, but it winds up so boring you'll have to get up at least once if you're going to stay awake through it. It starts to get pretty tense by the end, though.
