... disgusting,” said one person who saw the film. “It was like watching someone pluck their contacts out.”
“The film just isn’t a thriller at all” said one “Valkyrie” viewer. “It’s a bunch of white guys in Nazi uniforms. It’s too bad. And Tom doesn’t speak with a German accent — though they did add a voiceover of him speaking German to the beginning of the film. Still, it’s as if he could say ‘I complete you’ at any time. This is not his Oscar moment.”

Tom Cruise and 'Valkyrie': Not Exactly Stellar Reports
mediabistro.com: FishBowlLA —
Tom Cruise and his Hitler knock-off "Valkyrie" aren't exactly inspiring confidence from MGM studios or from ever-perspicacious test audiences, MSNBC says.
