I really like this German-American co-production featuring Christopher Lambert. Though it's a common serial killer story with some well-known features like a murderer playing cats and dogs with the police, a guy being involved into the crimes meeting a femme fatale and a series of ritual murders with hints to an incident in the past, it's very thrilling and entertaining. The setting is very interesting, being a small tourist island in the fall as a background for a deadly chess tournament. The murder scenes are not that gory, but scary and breathtaking. The final showdown between Lambert and the villain is a rollercoaster ride with some nice twists and fight sequences. Watch out for this dark and fascinating serial killer movie.

Knight Moves is a pathetic film, with poor acting, poor dialogue and no substance. It's a weak serial killer film just throwing in chess, because chess is just so cool. Lambert and Baldwin are awful. Sanderson not assuming it's the kid who stabbed him with a pen in a chess match, is beyond stupid. Lane's character falls in love with Sanderson rather quickly, based on nothing at all. We weren't in love oh no far from it, we weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit. We were just young and restless and bored, living by the sword.

I have no idea how much the shills on this site were paid to write positive reviews for this piece of debris, but believe me they had to be on someone's payroll. There is no story, the killings are totally redundant and create zero interest, and make zero sense. The acting is absolutely pathetic, especially by the Baldwin not named Alec. It's like lets try and wrap this ridiculous script around a chess tournament. Tom Skerritt should be ashamed for lending his name to something that could have been thought up in ten minutes, with flash gun killings, lipstick messages, and boredom beyond belief. I lived with the fast forward button, and still can't stand that I wasted any time on this worst of the worst ever. You have been warned. - MERK

Knight Moves is one of the finest suspense movies I have ever viewed. The only thing you know for certain in this film is that one of the characters on screen is the killer. The interplay between Peter( Christopher Lambert) and Andy ( Daniel Baldwin) is perfection. Even using The Empress Hotel in Victoria BC for location gave this movie the right feel as a thriller.

Knight moves is an extremely well-played movie, with some rather unknown actors. If you like thrillers, this one ought to be among your favorites... I highly recommend it (10/10) PS: Try to guess the identity of the killer...

Some consider opening scenes about events from past, when they were children, shot in B/W as great. I don't think so. It was too long, slow(ed), over top. And worst, it made it much more predictable. Direction was fine most of part, script, dialogs, acting not really. I blame mostly script and dialogs for seemingly bad acting. No actor which would pull it much better than Daniel Baldwin, because it was just character written as utterly stupid one. C. Lambert was OK most part, in some scenes seemed away. Despite mentioned flaws it could be solid thriller, but last 10-15 minutes were really letdown. Extremely predictable, cliche overall, and just 'game over', the end. Still, it was watchable - I watched it on TV some 25 years ago, and now on some better display. I would give it higher rating then, now I'm more mature :-) Ratings: C. Lambert: 6 D. Lane: 6 Tom Skerrit: 4 Daniel Baldwin: 5 Director: 7 Script: 4
