Ok I know. Tom Cruise is a nut, he's obnoxious, he believes in a strange religion where aliens dropped us off a long time ago as opposed to the real religion where a talking snake yapped at a naked teenager. All that being said, I saw his new film about Operation Valkyrie , the plot to kill Adolf Hitler in 1944. The German government was opposed to letting them film because Cruise had a past where he jumped on a couch and argued with a morning show host about psychiatry. That's right, Germany was hacked off about somebody else's past. Ich bin ein holocaust denier.Anyway, about the movie, I actually liked it. It's not the greatest thing on celluloid, but it tells a story well, it's suspenseful, even though you know how it ends, and the fact that Cruise has no accent doesn't mean jack. Stocked full of primo English actors from Tom Wilkinson to Eddie Izzard to Kenneth Branaugh and directed by Brian Singer of Usual Suspects fame, the film gets a recommendation from Max's Dad if you are interested in history and another yes from Max himself from the 12 year old perspective.
