Everyone's so excited that Tom Cruise's latest movie isn't totally tanking at the box office it's like everyone in Hollywood thinks Earth just narrowly avoided getting hit by an asteroid or something. Personally I felt the best you could say about Cruise's performance was that you weren't thinking about his crazy the entire time. Also I liked his hair with some curl in it.
I like Bryan Singer and pretty much all of the ensemble cast (especially Eddie Izzard), but Valkyrie had a tough row to hoe in that the outcome was a foregone conclusion. And unlike Apollo 13 it's not a happy foregone conclusion - pretty much anyone you like in this one is going to die. So, yeah...not really a feel-good kinda film. I'd describe it as workmanlike - not something I want to rave about but well-done enough to feel like you got your money's worth.
