Yes!!! Harvey effing ruled!

After watching it, and digesting it, I must say Harvey, and Mr. Tyler were great in this movie.

Though the realism hits me at points.

First of all, the one black man on the boat.
Americas military was nowhere near integrated at that point.

Second, and most importantly.

The Brits found the first enigma box. It takes away from them, which is not fair. There are a thousand stories of heroic American deeds during WW2, and finding the enigma machine is not one of them, nor should it be. (this movie fools morons who get history from Hollywood)

Very entertaining movie, and I did like it, not enough to put in my previous top 5 though. But it was pretty entertaining, if you like movies and not history.
