Toby Can Act

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2019)

I couldn't think of a better actor to fill the role as mad Bobby Fischer. Toby Maguire is a brilliant actor, but I had no idea how well he can play an egotistical maniac. I knew the story of Bobby Fischer quite well, but the way this movie done was flawless. Chess can be an extremely competitive/serious game, and so the excuses come with it, but Bobby had a way of doing in a charming and hilarious way. "You're one of them, aren't you?" Refreshing to see a character portrayed by some who thinks differently than the rest of the world.
