deceived

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2015)

Here I was a happy little clam watching a WW2 movie. Sure, it was rather predictable and makes much of Turing's accomplishments which are rather exaggerated as the Poles had broken Enigma some four years previously(as noted by another reviewer). What struck me as the absolute height of idiocy was the fact it took them some two years to think of using recurring words in trying to break the cypher. When I was six I bought a book on cyphers and the first thing you learn is to search for recurring letters and words. After half the movie it became more than apparent that this was not a movie about the Enigma machine but was yet another thinly veiled tale of a poor hard done by homosexual. Yes! Just another in a never ending litany or Hollywood productions about homosexuality. I feel cheated.
