The Imitation Game
(2014)
Directed by Morten
Tyldum this biographical film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira
Knightley, Matthew Goode and Mark Strong. During WW2 a genius
mathematician is recruited to help break the top German encryption.
The life of Alan
Turing contains many great achievements and terrible treatment by the
establishment but sadly instead of telling his story this film
wanders far too deeply into fantasy land. By over stating Turing's
involvement and achievements as well as changing his personality and
adding ridiculous fantasy versions of events the script is a massive
disservice to Turing. Benedict Cumberbatch gives a really good
performance but when the script is so far off the mark it's a bit of
an exercise in futility really.
2/5
