Stauffenberg (2004)

Excellent German film about the failed plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler in WW2. I think there was another version of this incident recently starring a Hollywood celebrity, but I'm not sure. I really do need to get out more often.
The problem with this movie is the very nature of it's subject matter: you know how badly everything is going to end. At least the filmmakers have the decency to let you see the ringleader's tragic demise at the very beginning.
If I have any complaint with this movie, it's the contrived nature of how Von Stauffenberg comes to see the necessity of removing Hitler by any means necessary. You see the good German officer in Belorussia suddenly finding out about atrocities. More plausible is the next scene where he's involved in the tragic African campaign and witnesses a comrade die.
The actual bombing occurs off-camera. Stauffenberg is conferring with another conspirator when a loud "bang" is heard in the background. Another officer, not in on the plot, tells them it's probably just an animal in a mine field.
A quality film with good production values which needs better international exposure.
