The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, who most people will recognize as the current in<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">carnation of Sherlock on BBC TV.

Highly recommended, despite casting Kiera Knightley.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Imitation Game, a dramatization of the life of Alan Turing.
