If you want to see a really good German movie about Hitler, look no further than Der Untergang (Downfall).
It's the movie where all the Youtube spoofs (Dallas Cowboys etc..) came from.

Great movie.
Bruno Ganz portrayal of Hitler is amazing, as were all the other actors.

I recently watched it.

Well for anyone that goes and sees it you get to hear Cruise speaking in actual German for 3 of 4 sentences in the beginning. I enjoyed it. Not terrible and not great. Just good entertainment IMO.
I have to agree with Shane here. The language issue didn't bother me at all and I thought Cruise did a fine job. Solid entertainment. However, I did have a bit of trouble keeping all the names straight. A pretty intense film for having so little action.

Do they explain why Tom Cruise is the only guy in the flick with no accent?

Or why it looks like English dudes were Nazis?
Accent? What is this, Hogan's Heroes? Where you can fake the Germans out just by having an accent.
