Review of Knight Moves (1992) by Cresswell S — 13 Feb 2008
This chess-themed thriller is modeled after the giallo formula - a masked/gloved killer, a lot of suspects, a ridiculous amount of red herrings (all naturally illogical), an out-of-left-field culprit, and that unnecessary quotient of exploitative sleaze.
It's all derivative of better films, but I do admit that I was in awe of how audacious the writer was by including so many blatantly illogical red herrings near the end, so much so that I was beginning to get confused myself about the culprit's identity.
It's entertaining but that's about it... there's little else here to recommend.
