Parto travagliato, quello di
Operazione Valichiria, ma il risultato non è da disprezzare.
Miliardesimo film sulla seconda guerra mondiale, stavolta su un episodio poco noto (a dire il vero poco noto solo agli Americani - con tutto il dovuto rispetto
) che vede un ampio numero di alti ufficiali tedeschi tentare il colpo di stato e l'assassinio dell'Adolf nazionale.
C'è da specificare come andò a finire?
Di
Tom Cruise si potrà dire tutto il male possibile (a partire dalla sua oggettiva carenza espressiva), ma non che non si sappia muovere più che egregiamente nell'ambiente del cinema. E non parlo dei buoni risultati al box-office: mi riferisco alla qualità delle sue produzioni ed ai registi di primissimo piano con cui lavora. Inoltre sa scegliersi egregiamente i ruoli, che non è poco.
Qui, il sempre perfetto
Bryan Singer sceglie una regia classica e precisa, sicuramente adatta al soggetto.
Veri difetti non ce ne sono (tutto il cast fa un ottimo lavoro), se non che si ha la sensazione che qualcosina di troppo sia stato tagliato, in fase di montaggio (l'organizzazione e la "razionalizzazione" dell'attentato avrebbe meritato qualche momento in più).
Insomma, riesce a mantenere alta la tensione in un film di due ore di cui tutti conoscono la fine. Ci vuole gente in gamba, poco da dire.

Ultimi lavori: Trivia random: DC Comics offered Singer access to the 20 plus years of development information that Superman has had since 1986, but Singer vehemently refused to use this information, instead insisting that he use only the continuity of the Richard Donner films.
Citazione random: [About Superman's costume for 'Superman Returns']: "I always had the general idea of the suit. With X-Men, although they had extraordinary powers, they also had physical weaknesses. The suits were for protection as well as costume. Superman is the Man of Steel. Bullets bounce off him, not the suit."

Cruise, Tom
Nome di battesimo: IV, Thomas Cruise Mapother
Data di nascita: 3 July 1962
Altezza: 5' 7" (1.70 m)
Coniuge: Katie Holmes::(18 November 2006 - present) 1 child, Nicole Kidman::(24 December 1990 - 8 August 2001) (divorced) 2 (adopted) children, Mimi Rogers::(9 May 1987 - 4 February 1990) (divorced)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:In 1976, if you had told 14 year old Franciscan seminary student Thomas Cruise Mapother IV that one day in the not too distant future he would be considered one of the top 100 movie stars of all time, he would have probably grinned and told you that his ambition was to become a priest. Nonetheless, this sensitive, deeply religious youngster who was born in 1962 in Syracuse, New York, was destined to become Tom Cruise, one of the highest paid and most sought after actors in screen history. The only son (among four children) of nomadic parents young Tom spent his boyhood eternally on the move and by the time he was 14 he had attended 15 different schools in the US and Canada. He finally settled in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his mother and her new husband. While in high school, he developed an interest in acting and abandoned his plans of becoming a priest, dropped out of school, and at age 18 headed for New York and a possible acting career. The next 15 years of his life are the stuff of legends. He made his film debut with a small part in Endless Love (1981) and from the outset exhibited an undeniable box office appeal to both male and female audiences. Though below average height and not particularly handsome in the traditional sense, within 5 years Tom Cruise was starring in some of the top grossing films of the 1980s including Top Gun (1986); The Color of Money (1986), Rain Man (1988) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989). By the 1990s he was one of the highest paid actors in the world earning an average 15 million dollars a picture in such blockbuster hits as Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), Mission: Impossible (1996) and Jerry Maguire (1996) - for which he received an Academy Award Nomination for best actor. In 1990 he renounced his devout Catholic beliefs and embraced The Church Of Scientology claiming that Scientology teachings had cured him of the dyslexia that had plagued him all of his life. A kind and thoughful man well known for his compassion and generosity, Tom Cruise is one of the best liked members of the movie community. He was married to actress Nicole Kidman until 2001. Thomas Cruise Mapother IV has indeed come a long way from the lonely wanderings of his youth.
Trivia random: Stepfather of his children Isabella and Connor is Keith Urban
Citazione random: Nic [Nicole Kidman] and I don't talk publicly about custody but, definitely, both of us share the kids back and forth. They're amazing kids.
