The Imitation Game"The Imitation Game" stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley and Mathew Goode in this film that relates the efforts of British intelligence during World War II to break the German secret code. Co-written by Andrew Hodges (based on his book "Alan Turing: The Enigma") and Graham Moore, the film was ably directed by Morten Tyldum and tells of the extraordinary efforts of one man, Alan Turing, to create what was basically the first known computer. The information the film imparts and the tremendous undertaking of Turing and his aides to help shorten the war and save millions of lives will hold the interest of the audience to its exciting and unexpected climax. I give the film 3 and ½ stars and recommend it to history buffs and anyone else who is interested in seeing how far the human mind can go to conquer mathematical obstacles and achieve the seemingly impossible,
