Checkmate (2015)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I say apparently, because the quote was so grossly wrong, I couldnt trait a studio that did that to produce a good movie. So I stopped. Watching and having checked this site, I was spot on. an idiot would have been able to spot that it was wrong, yet the studio put it through and it was supposed to define the movie. The quote," there can not be good without evil. Everything in existence must co-exist in a sort of balance or symmetry. St Augustine"sort of,....SORT OF, what 430 AD philosophical writers did they think uses the words sort off. If you going to be making up crap, at least do a good job and don't ask you 12 year old to make up a quote for you. St Augustine actually said that Good can exist without evil, and that evil can not exist without good. As evil us a defect in good and that defect and that defect only is evil. Completely different from the drivel they expounded on

I simply cannot put into words how absolutely, positively horrible this movie is. The acting is utterly laughable (and I don't mean in a cute, spoofy way), the scenes unbelievable and every other word is a swear. Police that can't contain a crime scene or shoot, robbers that don't rob and many hacked together scenes, all thrown in as if it was a pot of chicken soup and would somehow magically all turn out lovely and delicious in the end. It's too bad, this pot is full of inedible garbage that even the toughest iron gut would spew out immediately. I wondered if Danny Glover owed someone a favor and that's why he did this film. It's the only reason that makes any sense. Unfortunately, even he can't save this stinky bomb. Please don't waste your time on this one - it is truly too bad to describe.

The last movie I saw 'starring' Danny and Vinnie should have warned me to stay clear of this movie but I was able to watch it for free so went against my better judgement.It's clear that the two main 'stars' have given up any semblance of wanting to create a memorable piece of drama and would rather bank the cheques.I can understand that of Vinnie Jones but I really don't see why such an accomplished actor as Danny Glover is sacrificing his credibility to appear in dreck such as this.You'll notice that I have not made any specific reference to the movie itself to this point. So here it is , it's cheaply made, badly directed and has a plot line that is beyond nonsense. Everybody involved with this movie should feel ashamed.There are no more words.

I was under the impression that Aeon Flux was the worst film ever made until i watched this shambles of a movie. A good casting for an atrocious film. Weak plot line, far too many sub plots and although this was low budget, it could not have been worse if my 5 year old son had been responsible for writing it. The whole good versus evil aspect was far too over-exaggerated, and for actors like Jones and Glover, it was incredibly unconvincing. To sum up, if you want to waste 97 minutes of your life on a film that has absolutely no place in the modern world, then watch this. However, if you have any brain cells and even a microscopic amount of intelligence then avoid this at all costs.
