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 was the antagonist. Still, Michael Apted's pursuit of the code is at least interesting, and my impressions would have been a bit more positive if it had been an original story instead of an adaptation.
