| Knight Moves Jahr: 1991 Regisseur: - Carl Schenkel Schauspieler/Schauspielerinnen: - Christopher Lambert - Diane Lane Genialer spannender thriller, aber Bildqualität = 0 Genial gemachter thriller, nicht nur für Schachspieler! Christopher Lambert als Schachmeister, der von der eigenen Vergangenheit eingeholte wird, als er der Polize hilft eine Mordeserie aufzuklären. Klasse thriller. Schade, dass es noch keine DVD mit ordentlicher Bildqualität gibt. Check -- mate? A children's chess tournament. Two boys facing each other in the final game, intently staring at each other and the chess board between them. They make their moves and register their time. Ultimately, one of them has to concede defeat. Facing "check" twice and almost out of time, he topples his king. And assaults his adversary. A doctor recommends that he not ever be allowed near a chess board while he is treated for his "condition." Years later, another chess tournament. Grand master Peter Sanderson (Christopher Lambert) is in attendance, making a surprise return after three years' retirement. He easily wins the first Rundes. After dinner with daughter Erica (whose only parent he is) and a strategy session with his advisor, Sanderson concludes the evening with a few steamy hours with a sensuous Blonde ... and the psychopath who will soon hold the community in thrall has found his first target. When the woman is found murdered, gruesomely dressed up in death and the word "Remember" written on the wall above her in blood, Sanderson initially denies having been with her. This, and his arrogant demeanor towards the policemen investigating the crime - particularly, Detective Andy Wagner (Daniel Baldwin) - makes him an instant suspect. But is Sanderson the psychopath? Or is he, as appearances would have it, the psychopath's true target? In a grisly game of strategy in which a city is turned into a chess board and women living in the target areas of town (attractive Blondes all of them) are the chess pieces, Sanderson and the police hunt a serial killer who always seems to be one step ahead of them. While Detective Wagner never loses his suspicion of Sanderson, his newly minted boss, Captain Frank Sedman (Tom Skerritt) reluctantly comes to the conclusion that since the clues provided by the killer are based on chess references and directed to none other than Sanderson himself, they will not be able to solve the case without his help. Yet, for a long time the grand master, too, seems unable to decipher the killer's clues, and the meaning of the words written above the dead body of each of his victims. - How many women will have to die before his identity is revealed? Will he ever be caught? Will psychologist Kathy Sheppard (Diane Lane), brought in by the police to determine if Sanderson himself fits their suspect's profile, end up as one of his victims? "Knight Moves" is a suspenseful thriller, intelligently built on the patterns of the royal game of strategy itself, and in which the audience is kept on their toes until the very end. Christopher Lambert in particular is believable as the astute, arrogant Sanderson, who hides his personal fears and insecurities under a mask of unapproachability which only one person seems to be able to pierce Rezension von Knight Moves Ein wirklich fantastischer Film, der alles hat, was ich von einem thriller erwarte : Action, coole Sprüche, leicht düstere Atmosphäre, ein paar blutige Szenen und ein wenig Erotik. <BR>Christopher Lambert spielt den erpressten und zum Spiel herausgeforderten Schachgroßmeister wirklich überzeugen und stellt seine innere Zerrissenheit glaubwürdig dar. Tom Skerrit spielt den älteren Policechief, der die Mordserie schon bald sehr persönlich nimmt und in Peter Sanderson ( Christopher Lambert ) einen Hauptverdächtigen sieht. Daniel Baldwin gefällt mir sehr gut, wie er den lässigen, leicht heruntergekommenen und aggressiven Cop spielt. Doch am besten gefällt mir die unwerfende Diane Lane als Psychologin Cathy Shepard. Sie bringt Erotik und Spannung mit in den Film (besonders in der Dampfbadszene). Ein wirklich fantastischer Film mit vielen Wendungen, da so ziemlich jeder unter Verdacht gerät.
