Edward Zwick directs Tobey Maguire, Michael Stuhlbarg and Liev Schreiber in this biopic of US Chess Wizard, and paranoid loner, Bobby Fischer’s attempts to win a title during the Cold War.

Well made but uninspiring take on the fascinating Bobby Fischer story. Warming to see Maguire back in a lead role though.
