MANY reviewers are flat out wrong!

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2011)

If you don't like war films, fine. But don't comment on history facts unless you know what your are talking about. This isn't a documentary or even a docudrama. This is an action/drama MOVIE! Fact: Special OP forces recovered several enigma-type of devices during WWII, and used this information against the Germans. Did the enigma decoders win the war? Of course not, but in my opinion it doesn't diminish its significance. I urge the reviewers who posted ignorant opinions as fact to read about the Enigma, the Ultra, and the impact it had on the war with our allied forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine)
Back to the MOVIE. I love this film: the characters are real, there's no posing or cartoon cliché's. The script, like the story, is no-nonsense, simple and focused. The directing is superb and the sound-design is first rate. The suspense is palpable, really drew me in and kept me there. Its easy to see why it had so many (9) Oscar nomination. The film, in general, sort of was never on the radar ( pun intended) very long, and didn't garner the interest I felt it deserved.
