Movie Reviews of Knight Moves
Movie Review: An excellent mystery thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
This review contains some spoilers.
While this is a good film, it is not for the kiddies. There are disturbing images, adult situations, and some bloody scenes.
The film was well done from the opening shots of the boy stabbing another boy to the someday serial killer watching while his mother dies. The director writer team did an excellent job of drawing the audience into the movie and dropping enough hints that you could figure out "who-done-it," but you probably won't. In my circle of the fifteen folks who have watched the film with us only one of them figured out who the killer was in the first 2/3 of the movie.
Your opinion of who the killer might be shifts throughout the movie. None of the characters are paragons of virtue in the film. As an audience member, there is enough circumstantial evidence and potential motives for you to implicate most of the principals in the film.
The music and sound effects are well integrated into the film and help to build and dispel suspense. Actually some of the sounds are critical for solving the mystery.
The acting by the ensemble cast was exceptional. Even the bit roles were done by credible character actors. The characters were well written and believable, and the cast did a good job of bringing them to life.
As an interesting trivia point, Christopher Lambert was married to Diane Lane, his romantic interest, when the movie was being filmed.
