Disgusting Fiction

Rating: 1/10 (7 April 2005)

How this film was even shown outside of the United States I will never know. First of all, how dare the Americans take credit for capturing the enigma machine. The British did it in 1941 BEFORE America EVEN ENTERED THE WAR! It was captured by British seamen who then took it to Britain where it was deciphered by a POLISH codebreaker. It would be like making a film that suggested that the British took Iwo Jima or that the French won the battle of Ghettysburg. The film does have descent acting but nothing special. Most of the characters are flat and boring. The plot is sub par (and not just for the fact that the U.S was nowhere in sight during that phase of the war). It fails to capture any suspense and is not a tribute but an insult to the seamen of both the Royal Navy and the American navy (why not show the U.S navy in a battle it actually fought and won, there are more than a few during the war that the U.S should be proud of). I am Canadian and I was beyond angered by this garbage, I imagine that no matter if your family fought to free Europe/Asia or was occupied at the time, you'll feel the same as me.
