Mission, truly impossible: Killing Hitler fails, but Cruise gives it his best shot

December 25, 2008 - Boston.com - Ty Burr, Globe Staff

It is my duty to report - to the possible chagrin of more than a few readers - that "Valkyrie" is not a disaster. On the contrary: It's a smooth, compelling, almost suspenseful (more on that in a bit), and slightly hollow Hollywood period piece - a World War II action-drama in which an intriguing (but not electrifying) star performance is buttressed by stellar support. Above all, it finally gives Tom Cruise a mission that actually turns out to be impossible.
