Review of Dangerous Moves (1984) by Margarita S — 08 Mar 2014
The premise is simple - Two chess players, one Grand Champion and one former protégé battle over the course of several days for the title of World Champion. Conceptually, the film is set up as a thriller and it's ambitious.
Although it delivers on intrigue, it sacrifices on adequate character development. Characters are more representative of ideas than they are actual believable people. Background information is given only in pieces, so it's a difficult film to sink one's teeth into.
That said, as a viewer, you definitely find yourself wanting to know who wins.
