Plot:
In this twisty thriller about Britain's secret code breakers during World War II, Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott, best known as the villain of Mission Impossible 2) devised the means to break the...( read more

An entertaining and engaging thriller which managed to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout. It's nice to watch a film that manages to keep a heightened sense of tension without the use of guns and explosions. Instead the tension came from the motives of the characters themselves ("Was Claire a spy? How did the Germans know to change their codes?")
Enigma is loosely based historical fiction: the events the film is based around are real, but the characters and events are completely fictional. The backdrop of the war and Bletchley Park provided effective back drops, but if you know anything of the actual history of the Enigma, this film may irritate you. For myself, I was able to put that aside and appreciate this intelligent thriller for what it is; even if the final confrontation was a bit out of place.
The story of the breaking of Nazi codes during World War 2 is surely an interesting topic. Sadly, this movie does not entirely live up to that promise. The look isn't exactly cinema standard, it often feels like a British TV movie with its soft-focus flashbacks. Those, while telling an aspect of the story that's important later on, cost the film some pace in the beginning. The overall good cast and the decent last 30 minutes still make for an entertaining movie, but somehow there was more potential in this. It left me a little too indifferent and will probably be forgotten pretty soon.
Enigma Has Good Directing And a Good Story It Could've Been Very Very better If The Followed Little Less Important Little Stories In The Movie And If They Used A Better Cast
Top-notch mystery/suspense/thriller set in World War II around the Enigma codebreakers. That a movie about breaking codes could be an edge of your seater is a testament to the filmmakers involved on this one. A smart script centered around the real-life events of U-boats descending on a huge relief convoy in the Atlantic, as well as other events I won't reveal here make this one a great film not just for film lovers but for those interested in World War II as well. A great cast all around, including a breathtaking Saffron Burrows, haunted Dougray Scott, the always wonderful Kate Winslet, and my particular favorite, Jeremy Northam as the smug intelligence agent on the hunt for a possible breach of security. Great, entertaining film!
It's got a great cast -Kate Winslet is great and it's about a mathematician/code breaker who helps british intelligence. It sounds a bit like A beautiful mind which is one of my favourite films and it actually came out the same year as it too so it looks good.
I don't think I was in the right mood for this because it seemed boring. Overall very good and nice work from the actors.
Dougray Scott (Desperate Housewifes) was reat here, he has thaat handsopme face and scottish accent who makes one wanna see a lot more of him.
The lovely Matthew Macfadyen (Pride & Prejudice) is it this in a small part and Kate Winslet (Titanic) is the girl. She was great as the two others I've mentioned.
see at the start kate is thn then at the end shes big cause shes actaully in real life pregnant with her daughter mia
cutie cutie KATE WINSLET, i didnt' liked her in Titanic but she is a cutie pie here, nice story as well. another TRUE STORY.
Kate Winslet, Matthew Macfadyen, Jeremy Northam and Tom Hollander. How could I ever forgive myself not seeing it ? One of my favorites-to-be.

No film with Kate Winslet in it can be that bad... but this comes close. Cryptography is great on paper, but not so much on film, hence the need to tack on a ridiculous submarine finale absent from the original novel, which you should probably read instead.
Very interesting and enjoyable. Good story and interesting concept. Loved Kate Winslet's charater. I love it when she playes charaters that aren't flashy, because then you feel like you could be her. Matthew Macfadyen was good as Cove, the scarred intellegence officer.
Inteligent adaptation of Robert Harris' novel, this still confuses me sometimes though is gripping as the plot moves along.
me esperaba algo mas. Tiene poco ritmo, y la banda sonora ni te enteras de que va. La historia no me acaba de gustar, poco sobre la segunda querra mundial y mucho sobre historias personales
