Neat intense thriller. Tom Cruise can't pull off the slick assassin with eye patch character entirely but a decent film to rent at least.

I wanted to see that after watching it on the History channel. That part of Germany's history still blows my mind.

I thought this was a great movie. I was involved and fascinated from beginning to end. Cruise is solid (he's in Intense Hero mode, not a challenge for him). However, it's the supporting performances (from such vets as Kenneth Branagh and Tom Wilkinson) which shine the most.
