MY quick rating - 6,9/10. If you know the story, then you already know it is quite a feat. The acting in this is top notch. I only don't rate this higher because it is a biopic, and tells a story I know. Which is a 10 for sure, but to make a movie, they really shouldn't have brushed the "homosexual" and "secret for 50 years" part off so easily. What makes this even more special is after the analyst solved the UNBREAKBLE "enigma" code, the secret that they had done it remained a mystery for 50 some years after the end of WW II. That shouldn't be a spoiler since it is history. Stll a very good movie for history buffs and also anyone into quality acting. Computer geeks can also really understand the "breaking the unbreakable" thing. I may not partake in cracking encryption, but understanding what it is and how it works, makes seeing what it was like 80 years ago (basically) very interesting indeed. Check it out for sure. Disagree and rate higher, I won't mind, just think about the other end, people may not find history interesting at all in which case, this will be pretty boring.
