Review of The Imitation Game (1980) by Barney O — 21 Sep 2015
WHAT I LIKED: Benedict Cumberbatch is the star of this film, Alan Turing feels real and his character is amazingly explored here. The supporting cast are great too.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It could take a leaf out of 'The Theory of Everything's' book and include more plot to keep audiences engaged and rooting for the character, as opposed to here where we empathise, but don't wish for the breaking of the enigma code or his relationship to succeed because interest is lost slightly.
VERDICT: It's this simple plot and constant technical jargon that makes this film feel a little dissapointing, but it's the acting and character development that earn it its good rating.
