But in my mind, the exceptional acting was overshadowed by the awkwardness of Nazi German officers speaking English in a British accent.....The movie does not disappoint when it comes to helping us understand what things looked and sounded like in Germany during World War II.....But the Hollywood story telling elements are extremely effective....I was a little hesitant about Tom Cruise being in the lead role of Colonel Stauffenberg....they help the story to move along nicely..... ...
