"Valkyrie". If you've seen the trailer, do you have to see the movie?
Is the acting, script, direction, cinematography so good that we don't mind knowing how it will all turn out at the end?

If anyone has seen it and can give a little "review" here, it would be greatly appreciated!

1. Once I found out who was playing Hitler, I was intrigued.
David Bamber may have been typecast as Mr. Collins in the old Pride And Prejudice, and wanted to play someone more sympathetic, I guess. :shrug:

3. People knew how Titanic ended as well, but
it didn't stop the movie from making like $2 billion worldwide.

4. This is true, of course, but in "Titanic" some people survived.
I think the entire group of plotters were executed or committed suicide. Still, if it is well done, I won't worry about knowing the ending. I think I'll take a chance. We do have bargain matinees at the theatre where it is playing...six bucks, not bad.

5. You can figure out the end of 90% of the movies you see within the first four minutes.
They are either going to succeed at their plans, or fail, and you can usually tell which based on the director and writer before you walk into the theater. If real suspense is important to movie-goers, they'd be better served staying home and watching the Cowboys or the Redskins.
