Hot on the heels of the first poster artwork for VALKYRIE comes a confidently cut and intense trailer which just goes to show how movies can live and die by their commercial reels.
The one we saw nearly a year ago virtually killed the movie and indeed it was so bad, United Artists kept changing their release and had to come up with a whole new marketing campaign for the movie. It’s been a long time in coming but their movie will perform much stronger on the case of this evidence.
This is much more like the Bryan Singer of X-MEN and THE USUAL SUSPECTS, interesting and inventive camera angles and a reliance on character to create atmosphere.
I enjoyed the glimpse at the desert war fare, a scene which I would guess may have been part of the extra re-shoots to amp up the action. That looked fun, the ticking time bomb score makes for an intense trailer but it would be a brave thing to have that in the movie itself.
I do wish though the movie wasn’t so heavily promoted as a Tom Cruise vehicle.
VALKYRIE opens December 26th.
