Imitation Game (The)

To be truthful...rather damn disappointing...and, we are not ashamed to admit it.

A collective howl of: Why?!?

6 of us sat down to watch this...each on on the edge of their seat. Not a sound, the anticipation was more intoxicating than a sweaty armpit.

Someone commented...Shhh!

Then, someone else commented...Mmm, you do have a point.

The writing is weak...furthermore, it is negligent and fraudulently inaccurate.

The performances are all fine, nothing special, definitely not Oscar-worthy...Cumberbatch's Turing, perhaps, a little heavy-handed...by all accounts, Alan was a rather jovial chap. Not here...it wouldn't fit with the obvious agenda.

And, it has to be said, the green screen work is atrocious...for a film with this kind of budget.

Alan Turing deserved better, much better...he deserved an exposé on the way he was treated after the war by the great British establishment...not a botched rendition of his achievements.

This would have been a very different film if the Weinstein Brothers hadn't been involved...those devout, agenda-laden masters of Hollistory.

Formulaic, fictionalized fact. An affront.
