I'm glad that the director brought this story to light! 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2015)

Review: I quite enjoyed this movie because of its well written script, which was witty in places and the great acting from the cast. The subject matter was also interesting and quite shocking because it's not public knowledge, until now. Its about a super intelligent individual who joins the British Intelligence Agency to break a Nazi code. He also has the help from some intelligent code breakers who help him build an extraordinary machine which, eventually saves millions of life's. I loved the banter between Charles Dance and Cumberbatch at the beginning and the shocking reason to punish him for being gay, was touching. The chemistry between the characters, really worked well and the storyline had a great mixture of elements which kept the movie interesting. What also amazed me was that this is a true story which actually happened during the war against Hitler. The sad think is that Alan Turing will never get the praise that he truly deserves, just because he was gay and he sadly committed suicide at they young age of 41. Anyway, it's a great story which is portrayed well by the director and the actors and I personally think that everyone should know what this genius achieved. Enjoyable!
Round-Up: Its obvious that this extremely intelligent man was way ahead of his time because he really did build the first computer which is much used today in everyone's day to day lives in a modern society. He was given the choice to either go to prison for 2 years or undergo hormonal treatment so he picked to stay out of jail but the treatment was rotting away his body. At 41, he dipped an apple in cyanide and ate it, which killed him instantly. This is not shown in the film but I'm glad that I watched the bonus footage on the DVD to learn more about the man himself. I can only imagine what he could achieve today because everyone in the world has some form of technology in there life. Anyway, as a movie, I learnt a lot about a very interesting individual and I'm glad that the director showed the different aspects of his life. Charles Dance and Mark Strong were great additions to the cast and the geniuses that were working with Alan Turing were believable and we'll acted. In all, I really enjoyed the film and I'm glad that the director brought this story to light.
Budget: $14million Worldwide Gross: $200million
I recommend this movie to people who are into their deep dramas about a extremely intelligent man who builds a device to crack the Nazi Enigma machine which saved millions of life's. 7/10
