Review of Dangerous Moves (1984) by David L — 21 Jul 2014
A Soviet exile and a Soviet citizen are pitted in a high-pressure chess match.
While some of the events, like the witch doctor in the audience, are funny and interesting, as a whole, this film is about as exciting and entertaining as you'd think a film about chess would be. What the film fails to do is get into the heads of these players to the point that their machinations raise to the level of compelling drama.
Overall, I balk at calling a film boring, but honesty compels me to say that Dangerous Moves is kinda boring.
