Tom Cruise: Valkyrie

Tom Cruise on Valkyrie

 

One of my favorite actors, Tom Cruise, had been working on a movie called “Valkyrie”. The movie was reportedly based on a true story during the Nazi Era in Germany. Tom Cruise plays a German Officer in the name of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg who plotted to eliminate a Nazi tyrant Hitler. He plotted an ingenious plan to assassinate Hitler by using Hitler’s emergency plan called Operation “Valkyrie” and destroy the Nazi government. Aside from Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy and Carice van Houten are among the casts. The review of the movie is quite good so it is something to watch out for.

 

Tom Cruise has been working on some popular films before such as Top Gun, Mission Impossible, A Few Good Men, Last Samurai and Rain Man alongside Dustin Hoffman. His acting is quite impressive which is I think the reason why he is one of best actors around. In the 1980’s alone, he was starred in five top grossing films that includes Rain Man, The Color of Money, Top Gun and Born on the Fourth of July. In the 1990’s, he was already among the highest paid actors in the world, earning him around 15 million dollars on each movie that he starred in including Interview with the Vampire and Jerry Maguire. He was once married to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman. He was also romantically linked to Penelope Cruz. He is currently married to Katie Holmes of the Dawson’s Creek fame.
