During World War II: a highly intelligent group of people were brought together consisting of Alan Turing [Younger: Alex Lawther/Older: Benedict Cumberbatch:] he is a very intelligent person, but also as you would come to broadly expect, he struggles social interaction and sometime later we meet Joan Clarke [Keira Knightley:] she is likewise intelligent in her own right, as she completes this crossword puzzle in less than 6 minutes, but unlike Turing she does not have such problems in social interactions.

Generally speaking: the script outlay, the framework and pacing of this 115 minutes film is at best okay; meaning if you wanted to go that way, I guess that is one way to do it. Now I have gotten the amicable part out there first I can now say this; I really didn't like the construction of this film; it rotates from Turing's history to present day consistently throughout this film and on top of that later on we have Turing beginning this story teller outlay. What they should have done is even started the movie when he was younger and progress the film from there or used the mind’s eye approach from the perspective of Turing and how he came to be here, either way this title would have had a much better system approach, especially with the mind’s eye, because at least we would have known we are going backwards in time instead of being dropped off here and there and everywhere.

Art and action; the set designs, wardrobe and etc really do bring this part of British history to life as it transports its viewers back into World War II when we are back in this part of history in this movie; they should be very happy with how this film turned out as a relates to its historical representation; it is of a very high quality indeed and for the action it is code breaking or trying to or/and building machinery and making tough choices as it relates to strategies.

Character developments, comedy and performances; broadly speaking the character developments and the performances of the vast majority of this cast are all good and likewise there is good chemistry throughout, but and I should highlight that this is not a comedy  without meaning to; well that is just Turing  being as it relates to just a very simple question of lunchtime and all that or/and a little later getting some of his colleagues fired, without giving too much away using the financial resources to better use. Clark/Knightley: players a vital role in this title as her character Clark is the gateway between briefly; Turing's world and everyone else's regular world: as she gets him to attempt to build bridges with a peace offering and a joke and say it is the closest person to actually knowing him for him Cumberbatch and Knightley make a fluent and excellent lead partnership in this project and they should be very happy with what they produced here.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; I mean if you have seen it already it is at minimum it is well worth a watch and yes it has quite a few awards accredited to its name such as 49 Winners that include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2015 Oscar Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay Graham Moore and from Aspen Filmfest 2014 Audience Award Audience Special Recognition - Feature Morten Tyldum (director.) 167 Nominees which include but not limited to go to the Oscars of 2015 Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Benedict Cumberbatch and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Keira Knightley [altogether it was up for 6 Nominees.]
