Imitation Game

Whenever I watch films where it's based on a true story, I typically tend to not delve into the story itself and watch the film for its main purpose. Entertainment. I thought I'd quickly whack this in here, because I saw some negative reviews because it was a little bit inaccurate.

The film itself I thought was brilliant. It was a wonderful performance from Benedict (never used that word to describe acting before which speaks volumes) and he carried the film in the parts where not a lot was going on.

The plot itself was interesting and kept you in suspense throughout and it had great characters that were all likeable and kept you invested throughout!

My only real problem I had was that when they finally figured out the code, the film kind of dragged. All tension was gone from the film and you're left with 20 mins or so of just wrapping up stuff and dragging scenes on that didn't need to be, so I got a touch bored towards the end. But other than that it was a really enjoyable watch and for someone who wasn't really familiar with the true story I found it educational also, which is a nice bonus.

But yeah, it's definitely a film I'd recommend. 8/10 from me!
