After seeing The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas with P7, I continued the World War 2 theme with Valkyrie.  Even with Tom Cruise in the lead role, it proves to be a gripping, interesting and enjoyable film.  The disclaimer of being “based” on a true story gives a bit of license to the creators but it does come across as fairly balanced.  The cast list reads as a whose who of mature British actors with a bit of experience in costume or historical drama.  Guess they make the best officers, stiff upper lip and all that.  This would be a fascinating area to discover more about, especially as part of a project.  It goes some way to explaining how difficult it is to stand up against an oppressive system.
