Synopsis:
During WW1, the Germans have created a secret code that changes everyday called 'enigma', a code that is claimed to be unbreakable. The British attempt to put this to the test and hire multiple cryptologists to help solve this code, one of these men are named Alan Turing, a prodigy who prides himself for his intellectual ability. Although, he is someone who does not have many social skills. Even though he is isolated from the group, he creates a machine that successfully decrypts enigma everyday and attracts the attention and gains friendship with his group. This helps Britain win the war.
Review:
I was genuinely surprised of the quality of this film. Unlike most other films, this one is based on a true story which allows you to sympathise for each of the characters, as you know they are based on real life people. The movie encapsulates many genres, mainly including drama with a 'dash' of comedy. There was never a dull or boring moment in the film as mostly only scenes in which had an effect on the story added, forcing you to be engaged and on the look out for every information you can find. The actors and actresses were also chosen very wisely because of the quality of which they acted. The actor who played Alan Turing was a performance which was one of the best I've ever seen.
Rating: 9/10
