We got prescreening tickets to the movie happily, although I would have gone anyway since I am a die hard Tom Cruise fan.
The movie was good - it is based on a true story about Nazi's trying to overthrow Hitler in the height of WWII. The whole cast was excellent, the supporting actors did shine strong especially Bill Nighy. The costumes were superb.
It was a straight forward storyline with heroes and villains and another reminder of how lucky we all are to be living in this day and time. The movie tried to be a bit dark and mysterious, with minimal dialogue in a number of scenes, but didn't develop the characters quite enough. I was hoping for a bit more action personally. I have to say it was quite thought provoking and because it was a true story it was all that more fascinating.
For some reason I think that I kept thinking it needed to have more german in it. Quite impressive that Tom Cruise opened the movie speaking German though!
