Knight Moves Audience Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Lathe_of_Heaven I suppose I agree with 'Bob the Moo' on this one; fairly entertaining, definitely WOULDN'T have chosen Lambert as a world renowned chess genius, Diane Lane does the best acting, etc. (I know 'etc.' doesn't REALLY work here, but... : ) Anyway, main complaints are the script and direction. VERY good idea and I wouldn't have minded Lambert so much if the bloody direction had been better. I mean, even WITH the so-so script a GOOD director (emphasis on the word 'Good'...) can make anything work, tighten up the story, camouflage the weak points of the script or actors, etc. (THIS time 'etc.' works : ) Could have been a REALLY great, very much like as one misguided poster here states, Hitchcockian film. I WILL say though that the opening scene was done very beautifully; the B&W photography, staging, and mood are excellent. It just would have been nice if the REST of the film had followed suit.But, don't get me wrong, there are a LOT of other FAR, FAR worse films out there...________________L@the
bronsonskull72 Christopher Lambert stars as Peter Sanderson a master chess player who is targeted by a serial killer who is killing women and blaming it on Sanderson, Captain Frank Stedman(Tom Skerritt) and Detective Andy Wagner believe that Sanderson is behind it all, while a Dr.Kathy Shepperd unwisely falls for Sanderson in this entertaining yet confusing thriller. The ending while a good twist, is somewhat disappointing. However Knight Moves works fairly well most of the time.
helpless_dancer Average serial killer romp, this time through the world of big time chess. Too many slow spots to be called really good: I especially detest those time slowed, useless sex scenes: all that slow motion nipple sucking lends nothing to the program. High tension ending, although not all that surprising.
Debz-3 I loved Knight Moves, it's very suspenseful! I kept wondering up to the moment when the serial killer was revealed who could have done the murders, and even if the killer was Peter Sanderson(Christopher Lambert). Diane Laine(Christopher's former wife) also co-starred in Knight Moves, they acted very well together, the love scene was passionate and loving. I think most people would enjoy Knight Moves, it's well written and with a strong cast.
