Confusingly plotted rubbish about some tweed-wearing Cambridge types trying to crack the Germans' Enigma codes (or is it a cypher) at Bletchley during World War Two. It's in the tradition of The Land Girls ie very British and very boring. Jeremy Northam however is good as a dashing spymaster. Kate Winslet looks frumpy and her romance with the incredibly annoying genius mathematician fails to convince. Everyone else is instantly forgettable. There was a programme on television in the UK called Station X which I believe this movie is based on. That was boring as well. I can't be bothered to write any more.
The Players:
Dougray Scott as Tom Jericho
Kate Winslet as Hester Wallace
Jeremy Northam as Wigram
Saffrom Burrows as Claire Rommely
I mean honestly who thought of these stupid names? Jericho? Wigwam?? Claire Rommel???
