Enigma
2001
**
Director: Michael Apted
Cast: Dougray Scott, Kate Winslet, Jeremy Northam, Saffron Burrows

A codebreaker returns to Bletchley Park in 1943 to crack the Enigma code and to find out what happened to his ex-lover, who has mysteriously disappeared. A promising premise, adapted from a Thomas Harris novel, but the end result is a thoroughly dull and, at times, incomprehensible WW2 drama. Dougray Scott in the lead is under the assumption that he was cast in a zombie movie.
