Knight Moves was pretty good at the time, not as great as I remembered on repeat viewing but still pretty suspenseful and well directed!

This atmospheric thriller is average with the one of top chess touring masters becomes the prime suspect in a macabre, ritual murder at an international chees tournament. Lucky me, I really believe Christopher Lambert wasn't a murderer before I found out at the ending. Checkmate!
