5.0 out of 5 stars A Literate Spy Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2007

"Enigma" is a smart, well-crafted cinematic peek into the World War II secret code-breaking operation at Bletchly Park, an isolated mansion in the English countryside.

The hero of the movie, Tom Jericho, is a mathematical genius just starting to recover from a nervous breakdown triggered by the disappearence of his lover, Claire. His relationship with Claire is told in flashbacks. In the present, Tom has been summoned back to work to help break a new Nazi code used by German submarines as they track British merchant ships in the North Atlantic.

The story arc follows Tom and his fellow cryptologists as they race against the clock to break the code and save lives, while Tom and Claire's roommate Hester also seek to solve the mystery of Claire's disappearance. Tom and Hester soon discover that they are not the only ones searching for Claire. A seemingly unrelated matter soon becomes the core of the puzzle that Tom and Hester must solve. All threads will come together in a confrontation in a lonely sea loch in Scotland. A concluding scene in London provides some closure on the fates of some of the principal characters.

"Enigma" is rich in period detail and historical nuance. The movie weaves in fascinating explanations of the Enigma machine itself, the business of code-breaking, and the primitive computer the British fashioned to help them break codes.

"Enigma" does assume some prior knowledge of the Second World War and enough interest in the intelligence business to follow several scenes in which the characters work on the mundate details of code-breaking.

This movie is very highly recommended to those with an interest in the Intelligence business and to the more general viewer interested in a thinking man's thriller. The Special Edition includes several interesting featurettes, as well as a couple of deleted scenes that may answer some questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising witty thriller

I had never heard of this movie before and it was recommended to me by Amazon. I knew the story of Bletchley Park and of Alan Turing. I was truly surprise how good of a movie this was. It has very clever dialog, surprising action and many mysteries to be solved.
I had never seen the lead actor who plays Tom Jerico but his adaptation is superb. He looks and acts like a computer geek from the 80's except that he seems to get girls.
Kate Winslet is surprising as the beautiful geeky Hester Wallace. You really want to team up with her and follow her through the mystery. Saffron Burrows plays a great Harry Lime in the film from The Third man. Everybody is talking about her though the picture but you never really see her in first person. The color in the flashback sequences is brilliant giving more of a dream like look. The director explains this in the commentary.
Jeremy Northam is very sardonic in this movie as the super spy sleuth. He seems to have insight into every mystery but never seems to tell you how much he really knows.
My favorite part was the double code breaking scene and the action that went on there.
The extra on this DVD are better than average and give you some more insight into the movie.
This is one of the best spy movies that I have seen in a long while much better than most of the liberal self severing ones that I have seen recently like Syriana.
I would recommend this to people who like clever, action thrillers with some romance. I think it would be a great one to show to a date.

It is a provocative, intelligent, and well-done movie, however not strictly based on facts. In short, it's not a masterpiece, but I would still recommend this film to people interested in the history of the Second World War. However, it must be taken with a pinch of salt. The main plot of the movie is not correct. The movie unfolds around an inaccurate premise that the Germans used the Enigma machine to cipher messages related to massacre of Polish officers. It is obvious why the authors did it - it was a device to link Polish motif with the cracking of the Enigma code. It is the fact, the Poles were very helpful to the British intelligence in cracking the German Enigma code. They actually delivered the top secret German Enigma machine to the hands of the head of British intelligence, who personally met Polish courier at the London's Victoria station. It is true; the cracking the Enigma code was crucial for protecting the US-British Atlantic convoys against German U-boats. However, the movie does not do the Poles any service by portraying the Polish code-breaker as a traitor who was willing to sell the Germans top British secrets just to harm the Soviets (as a pay back for the massacre of the Polish officers). It is not clear why would he favor Germans over Russians. After all, it was the Germans who were currently clearing off the Polish lands for the German settlers following the Nazi policy of expanding 'Lebensraum' at the expense of (using their terminology) 'Slavic vermin'. On the other hand, why the Germans would be so stupid as to cipher the massages, which potentially would be so damaging for the alliance of their enemies? The reality is, the Germans openly radio broadcasted in April 1943 the facts about what they found in Katyn forest, hoping to damage Soviet-Polish and Soviet-British alliance. The fact is, they did just that, although more in the long run. In the sort run, only few people even in AK (Polish Army) leadership circle in London were willing to believe the information transmitted by the Germans. Even those few who did, the British were extremely annoyed with. But in the long run, this crime of Stalin and Beria's NKVD committed in Byelorussian (not Ukrainian, as in the movie) forest would cloud the Russian-Polish relations for many years to come. The movie is incorrect, but raises questions worth asking...
