Avid chess players and fans of suspense/thrillers will find this film interesting! The twist at the end is thought-provoking.
The opening sequence was much longer than it needed to be but, overall, once the story gets going, the premise unfolds nicely. Not bad for a low budget film with limited locations.
The key cast delivered with solid, intense performances. The pacing of Act II and III was adequate. The direction and cinematography were impressive, given the straightforward storyline.
Just the idea of playing chess under unfavorable conditions is enough to give this film a watch. It may not be for everyone but I'd give this niche thriller kudos for it's effort and execution.
