Predictable
As for Cruise, his acting was it's usual tepid affair, and as for the story, well, we all know that Adolf wasn't assassinated so we know from the beginning that the attempt made by Tom and his gang wasn't going to work. Not bad though
excellent
Decent film
Still very good though and its obviously worth knowing that it happened.
