tom cruise the pirate

Valkryie was... Average. It gets a 3* rating, and should be happy with it. I found it very watchable, but ultimately pretty, well, average...

1) The fact it didn't use subtitles is cause for at least 0.75* reduction
2) It was a bit to Hollywood, it reminded me a little of Munich in it's approach. Again, a film that promised a lot, but became a little too commerical.
3) Tom Cruise did not act the part all that well
4) The fact it's a thriller based on something you know failed, since Hitler committed suicide in the final hours of the war with Berlin surrounded means it's essentially like biting into a rolo only to find it's hollow in the middle
5) It's pity we didn't see more of the Hitler character, because I felt the actor, and we he was cast was very good, yet as the film didn't need him in it that much we didn't see him. Acting on him was good though.

May go and see Defiance tomorrow, although, after this film I may give it a miss. It's a long similar lines and has Daniel Craig with an awful Russian accent so...

Played 3 sessions of 10mins each of Omaha, and one person added 'omfg' in the chat box, when I was technically ahead but made an awful call. I'm up about $40. Playing only 0.10/0.20 up to 0.25/0.50. May give it a go for a little while.
