- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliValkyrie, despite being a more straightforward thriller, is less gripping than "Downfall," the most recent film in which Hitler had significant screen time.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttSinger has crafted a fine film. One just wishes for greater details -- and a different ending.
- 70VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyHas visual splendor galore, but is a cold work lacking in the requisite tension and suspense.

- 63Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversTom Cruise starring in the fact-based story of a plot to kill Hitler by Nazi Col. Claus von Stauffenberg sounds like Oscar bait. It isn't. And the sooner you accept it, the more fun you'll have at this satisfying B movie.
