Tom Cruise’s upcoming film Valkyrie is already being predicted to blow up and bomb in a major way according to entertainment insider Roger Friedman.  The film set to open this fall and is about a failed assassin of Adolf Hitler.

“Valkyrie,” in which he plays Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, the real-life would-be assassin of Adolf Hitler, with an eye patch, a withered limb and — according to the $100 million film’s trailer — a California accent reminiscent of Jerry Maguire.

“Valkyrie” is a set up for not only failure, but ridicule. Take for example this line of dialogue that is spoken to Cruise/Claus by one of his Nazi associates: “When the SS catches you they will pull you apart like warm bread.â€? (Translation: he’ll be toast.)The Valkyrie trailer already shows what a misguided idea this movie is. A description of the film’s story ends with the words “He Must Kill Hitler Himself.â€? Unless director Bryan Singer and writer Christopher McQuarrie have completely changed history, the actual story is not quite that: not only did von Stauffenberg botch the assassination plot, but then he was killed by Hitler.

Do you think Tom Cruise can be a big time successful movie star again or has his career jumped off the deep end of Oprah’s couch?
