An intriguing if ultimately unsatisfying film, this biopic of a man who almost killed Hitler at the outbreak of World War II splits the narrative between the central figure’s life leading up to his attempt and his subsequent interrogation and incarceration. The scenes set after the attempted bombing are the most successful, as the central characters struggle to answer whether this attempt was by a lone individual or supported by the Allies, but unfortunately for the audience, this is never really in doubt. Less successful are the scenes set before the attempt – the central figure’s life is largely unremarkable and the filmmakers seem more intent on depicting the gradual capitulation of those around him to the Nazis, while offering very little insight into either.

Intense war drama with a story unknown by me but worth telling. Pretty solid acting and a bit of heavy for a warm summer night
