As the name suggests, the movie plot is truly brilliantly inexplicable. The story revolves around a young cryptanalyst who is trying to decrypt German codes as well as the mystery surrounding the woman he loves.
It is fascinating to see the machine called 'enigma' used to decrypt intercepted messages. You put in the settings and then press the same letter twice but each time it outputs a different character. Nice, I loved it!
I also liked the mystery girl and her involvement in the whole plot, though she wasn't present physically throughout. The puzzle as to what the motive for a traitor could be and the journey towards discovering the traitor is built up well.
The movie also throws some light on the unfortunate 'Katyn Massacre' wherein thousands of Polish officers were murdered, and the government denied the mass murders.
I also liked the way the appalling state of the male protagonist is portrayed, when his lady love leaves him, since he denies discussing government secrets with her.
I recommend a must watch just for directorial and story telling intelligence.
