| 24.com Niel Bekker  It might not get the Oscar glory it so obviously craves, but Valkyrie has plenty of TNT in its arsenal for history buffs and suspense fans alike. | 15 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 15 | |
| eye Weekly Kieran Grant Valkyrie is a minor flash set against an epic conflagration. Yet it manages to inspire a flicker of awe at just how close the botched coup got to an overthrow. | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Palm-sweating suspense. | 13 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs More gripping than I expected and decently fleshing out and explaining a historical moment that most viewers likely have little to no knowledge about, Valkyrie manages to rise above its real and rumored problems and become a decently conceived and executed dramatic thriller. | 12 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Given the subject matter, Valkyrie could have been an outstanding historical thriller, but settles for being a mildly entertaining, but disposable yarn. | 12 | |
