While the movie is not historically accurate, according to some, it still delivers as a powerful entertainment and a cinematic tribute to the important contribution of Alan Turing to efforts to shorten or end the war. Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a performance of a lifetime. Keira Knightley and the rest of cast are awesome, too. The accurate costume design and a cinematography that transports the audience to that time in history where the movie is set simply make a movie a cinematic feast.
