There are a lot of issues with the movies on both the human side and chess side of things. They tried to make the movie more appealing to non-chess players and did not have as much chess references as I would have liked. While I liked the movie, I get the impression that it might have barely recovered the amount of money that it cost too make.

I can’t fault the actors since they wanted to portray Fischer as ultra-paranoid but I think they took it too far. I have the movie on iTunes so I can watch it anytime that I am in the mood.

 

Budget of 19 millions, and they recovered a bit about 5 millions.

way back in the day, it was generally accepted by the layperson that there was a definite correlation between chess and mental illness.

I would generally agree with this statement.
