Interesting, entertaining and a little too Hollywood-esque for me

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2015)

A quite nice little film, although too packaged for Hollywood, for my taste; still, it's nicely wrapped up.
Quite in the vein of "A Beautiful Mind", it follows the genius mind of Alan Turing as he searches to break the Enigma cipher, i.e. the code machine used by the Nazis during WW2.
It bounces between Turing's aspergeroid personality, his growing up, his intolerable self, his homosexuality and back, where he faces obstacles, success and, ultimately, death.
The obvious irony: he worked to save people from death, but was himself condemned to it, and posthumously "saved" by the UK monarchy, which is a farce and condemnable by itself.
All in all: entertaining, and well made.
