Enigma

       

The MM - "Interesting and heady but extremely lethargic story about an English code breaking camp during World War II. The British camp is having problems deciphering the German code, there's a co-worker missing, and there is mounting evidence that s spy is in their midst. The movie derives its title from the name of the machine used to help break the secret codes. The plot unfolds around our main code breaker who finds himself in the unenviable position of being a prime suspect in both criminal cases. The way the three stories are intertwined is very thought provoking but it's also complicated and slow. The film stars Kate Winslett (caution: link may contain nudity) and Dougray Scott
