I was surprised when the movie ended when it did, as there was still a fair amount of ground to cover. This is probably one of the differences between British and American film. While the British acting is far superior to anything I've seen in the thousands of movies I've watched in my life, they do have a tendency to let opportunities slip by. I think they could have given us more on Turing being at Bletchly and actually breaking the ENIGMA code, (not just the social one). And I think it would have been interesting to position the Apple Computer logo...the rainbow colored apple with a bite taken out of it...into the movie as Wozniak's tribute to Turing (certainly it couldn't have been that other idiots idea...). But this was Britain, after all, so why should they lift a finger? Bloody Wogs.
