Masterfully directed by Morten Tyldum, the Scandinavian director behind “Headhunters,” it’s a story told in three distinct time periods with the “present day” story taking place in the early ‘50s as a pair of detectives try to determine who broke into the home of Alan Turing, a crime he refuses to report even though nothing was stolen.
