Review of The Imitation Game (2014) by Doctor S — 16 Jun 2016

Interesting and absorbing biopic of Allan Turing, the man who cracked Enigma, the Nazi code-generating machine, thereby helping win the war and marking the dawn of the computer age. If there ever was a name that predestined it's bearer to take the stage, it's Benedict Cumberbatch, and he lives up to it with a galvanizing portrayal of a man with a brilliant.

Mind but severe lack of social skill. Keira Knightley is a treat providing the lone female presence, a math savant who joins Turing's team and later enters into in an engagement of mutual convenience with him. A well-written, informative film covers these events of historical importance with intelligence, wit, and class.
