Too bad this film is only playing in Los Angeles....because this is simply the best film of the year that I've seen.
The film is about cryptoanalysts at Bletchley Park, Britian's top code-breaking center during WWII. They are trying to crack the Enigma code again, because Nazi's have unexpectedly changed the code by which they communicate with each other and German High Command. An Allied merchant shipping convoy is about to be attacked.
This is only part of the story. The protagainist, a mathematician codebreaker, is also trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of his ex girlfriend/lover. The two mysteries seem to be interwoven in a complex maze that would make Hitchcock proud. To help solve this scenario the protaganist(I honestly don't remember his name) gets the help of his former lovers roommate.
This film is REALLY GOOD! I hope it expands, because it's really a dense thriller. As I said...it would make Hitch proud, which is about the biggest compliment I could bestow upon it.
