ReviewsTime Out London - Its various riffs on codes, whether moral, sexual, societal or German, are plain to see rather than enigmatic or enlightening. Luckily itÆs all anchored in a storming performance from Cumberbatch: youÆll be deciphering his work long after the credits roll., Chicago Sun-Times - The film works as well as it does due to the genius of Benedict Cumberbatch and the way he has inhabited Alan TuringÆs persona., The Hollywood Reporter - Dominating it all is Cumberbatch, whose charisma, tellingly modulated and naturalistic array of eccentricities, Sherlockian talent at indicating a mind never at rest and knack for simultaneously portraying physical oddness and attractiveness combine to create an entirely credible portrait of genius at work., Charlotte Observer - This suspenseful drama reveals pieces of its puzzle steadily and slowly, until the final heartrending picture can be seen at last. Remarkably, it comes from a screenwriter who had never had a feature film produced and a director who had never made one in English.

    Brilliant storyline. Seen this several times on TV but wanted my own copy. Explanation of the Enigma machine and the mathematical science behind it is easy to follow.

  • Fascinating film based on real-life events

    Bought this film after spending a great day at Bletchley Park. It's a fascinating story based on real-life events and the characters have been very well cast to bring out the unfolding drama. Thoroughly recommend watching this film and a day out at Bletchley Park - adds meaning to both.

  • Excellent - well worth watching

    Excellent true story, watched this after a visit to Bletchley Park - may have been a good idea to watch film before the visit but in no way did it detract from the excellent story telling and acting - such a sad ending for someone who should be hailed as a hero and given the recognition if being so, he literally saved the world!

  • Real story

    Excellent film, based on a real story. Sometimes felt like they skipped through the story too fast to fit it all into 90 minutes but it was a 90 minutes well spent.
