This movie was a tight little thriller. While I enjoyed the movie I had a hard time with the fact that it was a very fictional story with very fictional people based on true events. However, there were actual people that lived the story and were heroes - why not tell their story? It didn't take away from the enjoyment but I kept going back to that question. In subsequent years better movies were made about Allen Turing.

After a slow start, 'Enigma' picks itself up to deliver a good film.

The first chunk of events are very slow, with Jericho (Dougray Scott) and the story coming across extremely uninteresting. Thankfully, everything eventually turns the other way and I ended up liking both, Scott himself does an admirable job. Talking of the cast, you also have the likes of Kate Winslet (Hester), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Puck) and Tom Hollander (Guy) appear.

The premise revolves around World War II and the role of codebreakers in it. I, admittedly, don't have major knowledge of the Bletchley Park bunch, but it's cool seeing a plot involving them; even if it is fictionalised. The film also has a nice score attached to it by John Barry - his final (accepted) one, in fact.

Not massively memorable, but not forgettable either. Worth seeing.
