I thought it was pretty poorly executed. The Col. character Cruise played had almost no personality or character development at all. You never even really got the sense how these guys came to despise Hitler so much personally or objectively and why thy decided to do something. It was just "He's a bad guy, let's git em'"

I don't know if the book was like that, but I suspect it was a bad adaptation.
Plus they promoted it as an action movie when other than the very beginning and the one bomb scene, there's really not any action.

It was certainly no Downfall, which is about 50 times better.
