Movie Haiku:Buried beneath this Hitchcokean romantic thriller is a stirring tribute to the British geeks who broke the German U-Boat codes during WWII. Like its John Barry score, this whole film has the highest pedigrees. Nevertheless, there’s a pervasive “been here, done this” feeling – solid, predictable entertainment, but nothing more.
