Cleverly made and backed by a novel, we see a tale of mystery, romance, espionage, action (fascinating car chase sequence) and of course several explosions (that didn't quite reach the sub woofer travelling all the way from the North Atlantic Tub). Done on a shoestring budget (and one would expect no less with "Superaccountant Man" as producer) the movie doesn't need any more but delivers a most entertaining blend of truth and fiction with a rather almost conceivable plot which was probably true anyway, truth being the way it is.
Here's a plot. You have to crack a code that took you ten months last time only this time the probability factor has moved from a few million to one, to a few billion to one and oh by the way, you've got four days this time otherwise we lose a convoy of around 140 ships. Slot in a budding romance a missing glamour spy a little mental disorder and a super smooth MI5 type operative's subversive tactics and you've got yourself a winner. This probably didn't match some other box office sales records but I guess that's because you actually have to watch this one to understand it.
My rating 8/10 (Outstanding)
