Excellent Dramatic Thriller Based on a True Story

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2015)

During the World War II, the mathematician Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) joins a team of code-breakers at top-secret facility at Bletchley Park to try to decipher the code of the German enigma machine. Turing is a homosexual genius and along two years, he and his team successfully develop another machine to decipher the enigma.
"The Imitation Game" is an excellent dramatic thriller based on a true story. About twelve years ago I saw another good movie ("Enigma 2001) about a team of cryptanalysts put together to break the code of the German enigma. "The Imitation Game" is a superior version, with magnificent screenplay and performances. The plot is based on highlights of Alan Turing's biography (see the Wikipedia) entwined with fictitious facts to give the necessary pace and keep the attention of the viewers. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "O Jogo da Imitação" ("The Imitation Game")
