Movie Reviews of Knights of the South Bronx
Movie Review: Predictable, But Satisfying
Summary: 5 Stars
In many ways this is a predictable movie - the long shot underdogs come out on top after a lot of hard work, discipline and devotion to following the rules. Still, it is a very satisfying movie, especially knowing that it is based on a real group of South Bronx grade school kids. On the other hand, if after watching the movie you learn that the kids are still losers, you would feel cheated, so being predictable isn't really that bad.
The unusual quality of the movie is that it is focused on chess, somewhat unusual for a movie. [See also the Wonderworks program, 'The Mighty Pawns,' 'The Luzhin Defence,' and the comedy, 'Hatley High,'] We graded the movie down slightly because there are a few swear words, once by the teacher, but otherwise only from the junkies and losers with whom the kids have to deal. If you like chess, you'll probably like this movie. Even if you don't understand chess, you'll be glad you watched it, especially when reading the things the kids wrote about how chess changed their lives.
