The Underrated Story of Alan Turning

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2014)

so going into this movie i wasn't really expecting much. I was expecting an Oscar buzz movie set in the world war era and thought i was going to find this movie boring. But to my surprise i was wrong because this is a great movie. The story is based around a man named Alan Turing and what his part was in the war. Alan is kind of a outcast and is sort of the odd one out and is played brilliantly by Benedict Cumberbatch. I really bought him as this character and he definitely brought something to this movie. In Fact all the acting in this movie was fantastic. There was not a single bad performance. The movie revolves around turning and his team trying to crack the enigma code however also touches on other subjects in turnings life which i will not spoil but i will say that is was a pleasant surprise that this was in the movie. However i felt that they could of spent a little more time with certain things in turnings life and the ending did feel a bit quick. Overall i thought that this film was great and i say that you should check it out. 8/10
