It was distracting but about 2/3 into it i let it go and was able to enjoy it. Good acting, great dialogue, and a compelling story.
Just dont look for it to be historically accurate.
Spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen it:
Some of the things they do for dramatic purposes are unnecessary too, like the dude who has a brother on the U-boat they might save. Completely unnecessary and makes the movie worse.
I did like some things, such as the strategy of trying to crack enigma using a computer, the notion of being careful where you use your information so that the other side doesn't figure out that you broke their code, and the discussion about Turing's homosexuality and how he was (possibly) drive to suicide by the unfair policies at the time.
