If the script hadn't fallen apart, Enigma could have been a gripping spy film with elements of romance. However, the serious first half ended up being empty and even though it gradually picks up pace, this effort is wasted because just as I accepted one twist, another one came along. And then a third. In the end, the final twist left me completely uninterested because at that point, the story is such a mess that I have no idea who was the protagonist and who played the opponent. Nevertheless, Apted's pursuit of the code is at least interesting and if it weren't an adaptation, but an original story, the impressions could have been a bit more pleasant.
