algy Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Watched the film Valkyria, quite entertaining except that the main character - Colonel Claus Von Stauffenburg is played by a very weak Tom Cruise with an American Accent, I could accept the rest of the cast speaking English but Cruise's acting ability was absolute rubbish and ruined what would have otherwise been an excellent film. I would be interested in anyone elses opinion!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Tend to agree with you about Cruise; believe there have been other better films about this. CH19 had a drama documentary on it, with the drama elements in German - much more interesting and informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly aimed at the American movie goers so I guess the accent would go over their heads and not be noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes , the "good " Germans are Yanks & the " bad" Germans are British actors. It is a well documented story though & apart from fleshing out the bones of the incident nothing can improve on actual footage & news reports of the time.
