Ranking the films of Director Brian Singer

Valkyrie


Valkyrie has some issues but once you get Tom Cruise playing a Nazi soldier (without a German accent, mind you), who helps create a plan to kill Hitler, this true story disguised as a nail biting action flick is extremely well made and ultimately very rewarding.

Cruise plays Colonial Calus Von Stauffenberg, a wounded soldier who is brought into a plan to assassinate Hitler. The movie is based on a true story and as several attempts fail Singer notches up the tension. Standout scenes include a massive opening sequence and an assassination attempt using a briefcase and pencil detonators. The film is aided by some exceptional performances by Cruise, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson and the always welcome Bill Nighy.

Singer directs the movie with a sense of urgency and fear making it an intense experience. Valkyrie brings Singer and his The Usual Suspects script writer Christopher McQuirre back together and although this movie isn’t crackling with the same thrill and excitement as their debut film there is something very enjoyable about this film.

Tom Cruise Will Take On Drones In ‘Top Gun’ Sequel

Nearly 30 years after the original film, we're getting a ‘Top Gun’ sequel with Tom Cruise — and drones.

We’ve heard bits and pieces about the sequel, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer laid out a better picture of what the movie will entail with Bloomberg’s Jon Erlichman.

“Technology has changed obviously since we made the first one,” says Bruckheimer. “So, I think we’re going to take advantage of what the world is like today, you know with the drones really kind of taking over in a lot of our wars."

"Is the pilot obsolete? Are those guys … those jet jockeys, are they gone from now? No, I don’t think so," Bruckheimer added.


Bruckheimer, who says the sequel has been in the works for 30 years, shared it was the late Tony Scott who came up with the film’s premise.

The producer is also working on another installment to “Beverly Hills Cop” with returning actor Eddie Murphy.

Bruckheimer discusses the two sequels near the beginning of the interview starting at the 1:15 mark.
