Enigma

Intelligent World War Two drama, based on the bestseller by Robert Harris, following the efforts of Britain's Bletchley Park code-breakers as they search for the key to allow them to decipher messages encoded by Germany's Enigma machine. A troubled mathematician strives to solve the riddle - but he's haunted by the suspicion that the woman he loves may be a traitor to the Allied cause. Dougray Scott heads the cast, with Saffron Burrows as the object of his affections, and Kate Winslet as a mousey co-worker. Sadly, though the subject matter is fascinating stuff, there's little tension to maintain the interest of those viewers who yearn for excitement. Jeremy Northam, Tom Hollander and Matthew Macfadyen also appear. Part of the Summer of British Film season
