A Deadly Game
This film begins with a young boy playing in a chess match and then physically attacking his opponent upon losing the game. After being hospitalized he is released to the custody of his mentally ill mother who is told that he must abstain from playing chess from now on. Not long afterward, he discovers blood dripping from the ceiling and upon investigation notices his mother bleeding profusely in her bed and then weakly asking him to help her. But rather than helping, he chooses to open up the night stand by the bed and pulls out the chessboard that he had been deprived of and calmly helps himself to some milk and cookies before beginning a new game. The scene then shifts to twenty years later with a European Grandmaster named “Peter Sanderson” (Christopher Lambert) participating in a tournament when his lover is found in bed totally drained of blood with a sign above her body saying “Remember”. And because of his connection to this woman Peter Sanderson is a prime suspect. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an entertaining movie for the most part with both Christopher Lambert and Diane Lane (as “Kathy Sheppard”) performing in a fine manner. I especially liked the way in which the mystery was sustained up until the final moments. On the other hand, the way some of the chess players were depicted as being mentally unstable was somewhat overdone. Neither did I care for the rather obvious allusions to Bobby Fischer in the introduction of Peter Sanderson. Even so, I still enjoyed this film and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
Builds up as a great movie but falls flat on the OK category
Knight Moves starts as a clever movie about a murder investigation over some “Zodiac” wannabe. It’s one of those movies where you’ll only get your answers at the end-ish.“End-ish” because, as the movie goes on, it seems like they couldn’t keep up with their complicated murder plot, so they pretty much simplify things out.
In the end, an abrupt ending and a bunch of weird fight scenes sour out the movie.
