The Imitation Game is a biopic about mathematician, Alan Turing(Benedict Cumberbatch). During World War II, the British army led by Commander Denniston(Charles Dance) require Turing's help to crack the enigma code of the Nazis. Now, it is up to Alan Turing along with the help of fellow mathematicians, Joan Clarke(Keira Knightley), Hugh Alexander(Matthew Goode), John Cairncross(Allen Leech) & Peter Hilton(Matthew Beard) to crack the enigma code & end the war.
The Imitation Game is an outstanding film. I'm really glad that the makers of the film decided to tell us this fascinating story. Alan Turing is truly an unsung hero. This movie deserves all the accolades & award nominations it has received. The performances are the highlight of the film. Benedict Cumberbatch has given the performance of a lifetime as Alan Turing. Cumberbatch's character is complex & goes through a roller-coaster of emotions throughout the film & Cumberbatch has portrayed Turing, flawlessly. Cumberbatch is so good that, in the last scene of the film, I teared up a little. Cumberbatch truly deserves his Oscar nomination. Keira Knightley is brilliant as Joan Clarke. Matthew Goode is outstanding as Hugh Alexander. Rory Kinnear is great as Detective Robert Nock. Allen Leach is good as John Cairncross. Matthew Beard is impressive as Peter Hilton. Charles Dance is excellent as Commander Denniston. Mark Strong is spectacular as Stewart Menzies. The Imitation Game is a must watch. Go for it.
