Very solid picture

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2015)

Greetigs from Lithuania.
"Pawn Sacrifice" (2014) is a very solid, entertaining, involving and good biopic drama. It tels a true story about not your typical sport star, and does it well. The guy was very annoying, and i wasn't rooting for him to say the truth, but at the chess table, he was something to say the least. Picture, despite being about chess grandmaster, it very entertaining and intense. All actors did a very good job, although no awards will shine in here. Director also did a great job, pacing of this movie is very solid, at running time 1 h 45 min movie barely drags.
Overall, this is a movie about troubled chess-grandmaster. It tells involving and true story about sport which isn't the most popular or involving, but is surprisingly well depicted in this movie.
