All of this isn't helping the fact that Fischer is constantly dealing with paranoia. While covering his early life and chess career, focuses largely on the World Chess Championship match between Fischer and the reigning champion Boris Spassky. The reason why neglecting to explain Fischer's chess games is such a big flaw is two-fold. John Chancellor Self archive footage uncredited. What's more is that we see the paranoiac side of Bobby Fischer, a treat to see Maguire portraying. Enjoyable and interesting piece of work on the real incidents of the life of an evergreen chess legend. Edward Zwick. Mark Slacke Icelandic Journalist 1. Featured review.

German Reporter uncredited. Richard Jutras Referee - Santa Monica. Fischer, when left alone, assumed he was being bugged, and went to dramatic lengths to find these bugs. We get to understand this man's inner demons, his intense sensitivity to noises and lights, his paranoia and anti-Semitism, and his eccentricities. I also have the same complaint about Fischer's victory over Victor Korchnoi. His tantrums and his stares as he is building irrational thoughts about conspiracies and imaginable dangers are s strong plus to the film. Who knew that a movie about a game of chess could be so suspenseful and riveting. Yet "Pawn Sacrifice" can hardly be considered a great film, largely because the filmmakers seem as clueless about Fischer's chess genius which I assume is a hugely important component of the film as the young woman who took away his virginity in California. Instead they show him sitting on the bed with a very nice wooden set, and the next thing you know, he's beating strong club players. More like this. Overall, great acting and great drama. Bobby's mind deteriorates and he gets more paranoid. Finally, a good film from a brilliant director like Zwick after a pause. Maguire gives the performance of his life. It's unlikely he understood that; he didn't have a broad or worldly focus.
