"Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine."

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

Based on the book: Alan Turing – The Enigma, this is a very touching drama film about the genius man "who made the single biggest contribution to winning the war" (Winston Churchill) by breaking the Engima code and in the aftermath was treated so badly by the British Government. The cast and the chemistry between them are electrifying with an extraordinary good authentic performance by Benedict Cumberbatch that could lead to an Oscar. With a quick witty sense of humour and dialogue Morten Tydlum's first English speaking motion picture starts very exiting like a real classic espionage thriller but looses it's excitement and only has some peaks throughout the film. It doesn't reach a masterwork piece like other classic nerve biting films, but is not far off from the modern classic Tinker Tailor Toy Soldier by Tomas Alfredson. In the film they show how peoples and societies fears, lack of knowledge and opinions took and keep taking away innocent people and heroes! The Imitation Game is a very well made film that will be awarded and remembered for the quality, the story and the awareness of history and individuality of people it brings up. / Peter A Eldon. 2014-11-05.
