Well worth seeing!

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2015)

This is a totally engaging movie dramatizing the true story of how the ENIGMA code was cracked in the Second World War. Superbly acted by Cumberbatch as Alan Turing. He really got a good handle on the homosexuality of the character as well as the Asperger's condition with the right amount of social awkwardness. A powerful movie on many levels. It makes you realize the outcome of the Second World War was determined quite differently to what the history books tell you. You got the real sense of frustration and anxiety by the crack team and their painstaking efforts to help the forces against Hitler. Turing's life after the war was a sad reflection of less enlightened times about homosexuality. I highly recommend this movie. I would like to see it win Best Picture at the Oscars.
