The blue pinstripe suit worn by Mark Strong throughout the film is an authentic suit from the 1940s. It was chosen to set his character apart from his tweedy underlings at Bletchley Park and give him the appearance of a mob boss. See more »

Quotes
[first lines]
Alan Turing:
Are you paying attention? Good. If you're not listening carefully you will miss things. Important things. I will not pause, I will not repeat myself, and you will not interrupt me. If you think that because you're sitting where you are and I am sitting where I am that you are in control of what is about to happen, you 're mistaken. I am in control, because I know things that you do not know.
