Good performances, but the revisionism stinks

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2002)

First off, let me say I thought the performances were good. I also liked all the darkly lit scenes, as I had a migraine while I watched this.

But while I do accept this somewhat as "fantasy", and acknowledge that they put a dedication at the end (after the Brits protested) that it was the British who captured the Enigma from a sub first, the revisionism that comes from Hollywood insults our intelligence. Ok, so the biggest movie market is the US, but I think this kind of revisionism is just money-grubbing, in my opinion.
Why am I so annoyed? I recall a recent comment from an American criticizing Canadian forces recently saying that "you've never entered a war without the US entering first". What?! (How about the first few years of WWI and the first couple of years of WWII?). It's because of that amazing level of ignorance that seems to keep rearing its head in the US that films like this bug the rest of the non-American world (as much as we love and support our American Allies in the current crisis).
