This was a great piece of historical story that nobody knew about up until recently, about how Alan Turing and his first computer helped end World War II.
And it was solely on Benedict Cumberbatch's performance that drove the story's development forward, together with Morten Tyldum's direction.
It's a very simple story with not too much of a big movie's production, but it was very effective in conveying what each plot was about.
Together with a strong casting and performance from Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance and Mark Strong; Cumberbatch was brilliant in his portrayal and gave one of his career's best.
I would have liked to see more of how Turing's sexuality in that period of time put him in a lot of danger, but here I only saw what was happening but not feel that danger. Tyldum did not spend enough time exploring the subject, nor brought the audience into the psyche of Turing and how he felt about the whole discrimination.
Nevertheless, this was such an enjoyable watch that did not feel draggy at all.
