www.eonline.com - : Are you a WWII buff who can't get no satisfaction at the movies? Then rocker Mick Jagger may have your number with this twisting, detail-oriented tale of British code breakers and their math games against the Nazis. The first offering from Jagger's Jagged Films production company finds Dougray Scott as an equation junkie on a mission impossible to crack a new German code before U-boats poke holes in Allied ships.
