The Imitation Game...would you like to play?

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2015)

The Imitation Game is a new British film about Alan Turing, the brilliant man who broke the Nazi Enigma code. Benedict Cumberbatch has been in the middle of a pretty good track record at the moment with his roles and this is the one that stands out as great. This is a very well depiction of Alan Turing, a genius mathematician who was chosen to attempt to crack the enigma and he was also a homosexual, which was illegal at the time. This man went through his life of being scared he was going to be persecuted and chemically castrated. The film has a very good pace and Cumberbatch is so mesmerizing, his emotional power works, making this film more effective. The story is so powerful, heartbreaking and moving along with the Oscar nominated script for adapted screenplay. Very deserving of the nominations it has gotten because of how impactive it is to a person and everyone can understand the complex, but incredible story of Alan Turing.
