Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2015)

An incredible story about the true story of cracking the Enigma code during World War II.
With help from Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley) and other fellow mathematicians, Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) comes each time closer of cracking the code from the Germans.
However, while there are 159 million million million codes that could be put into Enigma, and that the Germans change the code daily, it's almost impossible to make the impossible possible. Till' one night Turing cracked the code, which made the group able to reveal all the hidden messages from the Germans.
Unfortunately, the life of Turing hadn't a happy ending. When time has passed after the big solution, Clarke visits Turing. The smart man who he once was, is now suffering due to hormone therapy to "cure" him of his homosexuality. It was his choice to undergoes the therapy, so he could continue working on his computer, which makes him find solace. Alan Turing later died off-screen.
Beside the astounding acting performance from Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game is an unbelievable achievement in storytelling. Remarkable, and most important memorable. A must watch biography, both exciting and compelling.
