The whole movie is too flat and straightforward, and the slow pace brought by the straightforward narrative affects the perception. Because the climax of the entire assassination activity is just a momentary explosion, a lot of space is spent on the process of preparing for the assassination, although there are two "dress rehearsals" in the middle. The assassinations, but they all happened in a flash, so audiences accustomed to watching Hollywood blockbusters may not be easily excited when watching this movie. Many details have not been expanded to describe, and even the main scene of the protagonist's assassination of Hitler in the "Wolf's Den" does not seem to be nervous. The film only uses the protagonist to change clothes in a hurry and the briefcase with the bomb is placed everywhere to create the atmosphere, some lack of explanation.

Erich Fellgiebel: And you think that makes me a sympathizer, hey? Give a man a choice of betraying his fellow officer or his Fuhrer and you think his actions will show you his heart.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: It's not that simple.
Erich Fellgiebel: Yes. Yes it is. For the last time, don't push me to make a decision.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: I don't have a choice, it's clear now. Without you there is no hope of success.
Erich Fellgiebel: You're nothing but rats jumping from a sinking ship! What makes you think you'll be any different? What makes you think you're stronger than the people, the Reich? The very momentum of history?
