5/10
Just cause it's a true story.....

If this wasn't a true story, I would have given it far less than 5. I mean there's no build up, no telling how they were trained, you just see them have one lesson in class and after that they are champions at every chess tournament? I will just assume that they did get some good training from their teacher. Also what's with Rodelay? Dude is very loud, arrogant and annoying. Plus why they gotta hit the pieces so hard on the board? Haha that was so uncomfortable to watch. The whole film was long but each tournament felt rushed. There was no real engagement btn the viewers and the game scenes except for the last game. And to be very fair, from the movie, Marcel wasn't even a student of the school, he basically came into the school to help them play chess and win? Had it not being him, they wouldn't have won the championship.
