Something Different
7 June 2022
This is definitely one of the best movies I've watched in quite some time. John Leguizamo played a great role as the school teacher and chess coach. I'm so used to seeing him in side roles in dark and shadowy films but his acting as a teacher and chess coach was really good. It's a different role for him and overall this is just a different type of movie that really isn't similar to anything I've ever watch; specifically regarding chess.

Another thing about this movie I like is the vibe - it's one of those movies where the teacher plays a big role in getting the students on the right path while keeping them inspired to stick together as a chess team. One of those "inspired by a sport/game" kind of movies.
