Valkyrie

Valkyrie is director Bryan Singer's dramatization of Claus von Stauffenberg's failed military coup against Adolf Hitler during World War II. It involved perhaps one of the most famous assassination attempts on Hitler's life. Tom Cruise plays Colonel Stauffenberg sans German accent, which was probably a wise decision given Hollywood's lousy track record of fake accents. The film itself comes off like a really good HBO production. It might be worth revisiting sometime to get color commentary from a WWII history buff who will be sure to point out any historical inaccuracies.
