This was useful to us in terms of what we have to think about when doing our opening. We know that they liked the history of it and we could possibly link our thriller to some historical event. We would also consider using a male main part instead of a female as it turned out that a strong male actor proved to be very sucessful, totally fitting in with the theme.

"Oh dear..."
"2 hours lost"
"Cruise does not convince as a German aristocrat or officer"
"Based on real events and people. Really? Who, exactly? Any reference to a conspiracy of Hitler's inside circle to assassinate him is purely accidental. This was an event that could have had immense repercussions on the course of human history in the decades that followed. This movie treats the whole thing like some high school teen angst dramedy."
From looking at these reviews we will not attempt to get a brittish or american actor to impersonate a person from another country with such a different accent as the likleyness us that it will not sound authentic or convincing. We also know that if we decided to include an historical event we would have to make everything relevant to create a great understandingfor the audience.
Based on actual events, a plot to assassinate Hitler is unfurled during the height of WWII.
