Among the Best of 2014, Don't miss it!

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2015)

I really like films from this era, and this one is no exception. I also like these troubled genius type movies. Turing's story is absolutely fascinating, and probably one of WW2's best kept secrets up until now. I really appreciate learning about something of such great historical relevance. Benedict Cumberbatch is an excellent actor, and he did an impeccable job in this film. I thought he was great in Star Trek 2, but in this film he played a totally different character, and he played it to perfection. Keira was also impressive, though this was hardly her best work - how can she ever top her performance in Pride and Prejudice? However, she is still a joy to watch. Can a movie that just relies on an awesome script and talented actors still be good without CGI and pyrotechnics? Absolutely! There wasn't a boring minute in this film. I don't know if The Imitation Game was the best film of 2014, but it was certainly among the best and is well worth seeing.
