my brother said the thing that he doesn't like about director edward zwick is that he doesn't deliver a punch line. that may well be true - but the story of bobby fischer and his paranoia is like slipping on big slope down hill to a black hole. the guy is obviously unstable - but so many interested parties propped him up to serve their agenda while conveniently sacrificing his need for mental health. i like the cold war atmosphere depicted in this film, and i think the actors are excellent. it's always good to see tobey maguire doing something outside of his spiderman suit.
and yes - chess is very intense.
