Best movie of this year hands down!

Just perfect...

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

HORRIBLE movie! The writers of this movie are terrible and absolutely and totally untalented. I wasted an hour and a half of my life I can never get back. Every other word is the "F" word! That is not an exaggeration. I would suspect the "F" word is used no less than 300 times during this movie, with every sentence including that one vulgar word. Even without the vulgarities and foul language, the movie is terrible. I can't believe that some typically good actors participated in this horrific movie. A complete and total disappointment is an understatement. Do NOT waste your time watching this.

Einstein once said "God doesn't play dice", here God (Danny Glover ) plays chess with pure evil Lu (Vinnie Jones ) for the soul of a wayward priest (Sean Astin). Their chess board is projected into the real world as a neighborhood bank under siege. The chess pieces are projected into the real world as bank robbers (black) and bank customers (white). Pieces are moved and people perform actions. Pieces are captured and people die. Not a great movie but I'd give it a good C+. Lenses and sound are good, directing and cinematography are good. Dialogue and acting fair. I watched it, I liked it. I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood the purpose of the contest earlier.

Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones, two of my favourite actors in a action movie. Wow i thought and really looked forward to enjoy the show. But it was a total disaster, the whole movie made no sense at all and certainly is one of the worse movies i have ever seen. As example: Couple dozen cops can't shoot a guy standing in the open on the roof and that guy, with his automatic sub-gun, can't hit any of the cops either. Basically the whole movie is like 4 independent movies no connection what so ever. I hope the people who wrote this story better stay away from writing Yes, i watched it until the end, hoping that it would get better. But at the finish line i realized that i just wasted 102 min of my life. Still can't believe that two movie start like glover and Jones put them self into this awful movie. But i guess times are bad and they needed the money.

Unfortunately no amount of f-words can save this immature and epicly sad excuse of a movie. We all have to pay the rent, I get that. Sometimes it just hurts to watch it happen. Checkmate tries to be so bad-ass it falls flat on its face from the very first frame. Disconnected plot, no character development, crazy amount of cuss words, words of wisdom outtro etc. The turkeylist goes on. How did Glover and Aston even end up in this mess? I would seriously think a seventh grader could put together a more interesting script. This is by far the worst film I've seen the last 10 years. We're not talking funny bad here either. Low budget just got a new low - and I'm not even gonna comment on the girl with the samurai sword.
