Alan Turing was inarguably the most unsung contributor to the success of the allies in World War II, and this film does justice to what he accomplished. Director Morten Tyldum knows how to put a good narrative on screen in this latest war-biopic "The Imitation Game." It's a great story and one that's engaging throughout. Benedict Cumberbatch is a revelation here, giving one of the best performances of the year. He's fantastic and really captures Turing's awkward yet intriguing character. The movie does a great job of capitalizing how frustrating it must have been to work with him and then transitioning to the realization of how much of a genius he really is. The only misstep the plot takes is shoe-horning a social message concerning homosexuality at the end of the film. Even though it's a good message, it doesn't quite fit with the rest of the film. This is a very good film however and deserves to be seen by just about everyone.
