OOPS!

Some scenes had to be re-shot when the original film was destroyed after being treated with the wrong chemical during development.

I want to dislike Tom Cruise, I really do. I just can't. The man is actually a good actor and, judging by his performance in Tropic Thunder, not afraid to make himself look like an idiot.

QUALITY:
The entire movie is ok, save for an extremely distracting scene about 20 minutes in which gets ridiculously grainy.

BONUS FEATURES:
Digital Copy, Commentary, Documentary, featurettes.

The bonus features are actually really good, including a digital copy and an engrossing documentary about the good Germans (you know, the NON Nazis). The movie is definetely more of a suspense drama than a war action, as some of the trailers would suggest. Regardless, the acting and cinematography is brilliant but the story could have used a little more tweaking.
