Review of Pawn Sacrifice (2015) by Naufal K — 18 Sep 2015
An excellent period piece biopic about an event and a persona that captivated the world for reasons other than its stated purpose. While the film could have been a bit stronger on the back story of the principals involved, the film nevertheless effectively conveys its primary narrative, the implications involved in it, and the look, feel and hype of the era.
Tobey Maguire does his best screen work here, backed by an excellent supporting cast.
