This is the movie I thought Beautiful Mind was going to be which involves a mathematical genuis breaking a set of unbreakable German codes thereby winning the War. Turns out that mathematician genius was crazy...
This movie, based on a true story is very well-paced and brings you back and forth in time purposefully dissecting the circumstances of Alan Turing's awkward Life.
It also tactfully dealt with the fact that he was homosexual but only by mention and retained the dignity of his character by his accomplishments rather than his sexuality.
It gets a little slow at the end but the 114 mins did not feel at all lengthy which in my experience is a big plus.
Although I have never been a fan of Keira Knightly but that really has nothing to do with her excellent acting skills which surprises me time and time again.
Fourth time Norwegian director Morten Tyldum (1st Hollywood Production) nails it with this one proving that even geniuses needs Friends...
