Da Vinci from Brooklyn

Didn't I just a while back watch a perfectly cool documentary feature of Bobby Fischer, the eccentric chess master? Even if Tobey Maguire does the best role of his career so far and the rest of the main cast (Liev Schreiber as Bobby's nemesis Boris Spassky, Michael Stuhlbarg and Peter Sarsgaard as the assistants) are excellent as well, this has rather little to offer. After all, it's just an arrogant brilliant mind and a game of chess.
