Pawn Sacrifice

ernie_truman shared a tip "I feel like Toby Maguire was the weak link in this movie. The character had great possibilities to draw us in but Toby doesn't have the acting skills to completely pull it off. Give him the underdog role or the innocent pinning young man who wants to be the best parts of himself and it will work. A role like this requires much more. Everybody else is strong and it looks solid. With a better lead this could have been a great movie. Instead it is good. Worth a look but it doesn't stand out in my memory, and I only just recently seen it."

jason_braddock shared a tip "I watched "Searching for Bobby Fisher" years ago. I had a vague idea of who this American chess legend was from that movie. This movie goes into detail of who he was and the pressure he was under to defeat the Soviets and prove that America was better then communists. Toby Maguire effectively portrays the intensity of Bobby as the pressure and complexity of the game seem to unravel his mind."
