Default re: Valkyrie (movie)

I saw it yesterday, well, I'm one of those who would normally avoid anything with Cruise in it by as many miles as possible, he's actually not too bad in this and the movie in general isn't the turkey I expected. However, it could have been done a lot better, there could have been a lot more tension at certain parts, the director falls down there IMO and it's overly simplistic in screenwriting story. Some of the casting is just plain odd, if you think Cruise is miscast, Bernard Hill just looks completely out of place to me, granted in a brief appearance, and Eddy Izzard?? WTF? I almost laughed out loud when I saw him, yes that's transvestite comic Eddy Izzard for those not familiar.
Anyway, it's a decent watch but I couldn't recommend it, overall not very memorable.
