Washington
(ANI):
Film
critics
who
have
been
to
a
couple
of
screenings
of
Valkyrie,
a
Tom
Cruise
starrer
film
based
on
the
failed
assassination
attempt
on
Adolf
Hitler,
believe
finding
an
audience
for
the
movie
will
be
very
difficult.
They
agree
that
it
is
a
well-made
movie
and
an
absorbing
thriller,
but
insist
that
a
host
of
other
films
that
can
cover
the
intellectual
upscale
audience
are
to
be
released
in
the
coming
days,
and
thus
marketing
problems
for
Valkyrie
can
be
huge.
Industry
insiders
point
out
that
December
26
is
already
scheduled
for
the
release
of
Leonardo
DiCaprio
and
Kate
Winslet's
flick
Revolutionary
Road.
The
wide
release
of
Ron
Howard's
Frost/Nixon
and
John
Cusack's
highly
anticipated
Shanghai
are
also
expected
to
cover
the
intellectual
upscale
audience.
Among
family
dramas,
Forest
Whitaker's
Hurricane
Season,
Jennifer
Aniston's
Marley
and
Me,
and
Adam
Sandler's
Bedtime
Stories
are
also
in
the
pipeline.
"You
sit
there
and
say,
''Who
am
I
selling
this
movie
to?
Who's
the
audience?
And
the
answer
is,
No
one,''" Fox
News
quoted
an
industry
insider
as
saying.
Critics
have
also
revealed
that
Valkyrie
is
not
good
enough
to
bag
an
Oscar.
"It's
not
an
Oscar
movie,
there's
nothing
Oscar
about
it,"
they
say.
The
movie
has
no
mention
of
the
atrocities
that
were
committed
on
Hitler's
command,
no
mention
of
the
famed
Holocaust
either.
"It's
just
discussed
that
Hitler
is
ruining
Germany's
legacy
and
that
the
war
is
not
good
for
history.
All
the
other
stuff,
you're
just
supposed
to
know
that's
going
on
in
the
background," an
insider
said.
