October 11, 2007. This movie presents a mental chess game between two deceptive and manipulative Brits. Ostensibly, the object of contention is Wyke’s (played by Michael Caine) wife, but Tindle (played by Jude Law) needs to prove himself to the clearly superior Wyke. It is interesting that this remake of the 1972 film of the same title featured Michael Caine as Tindle. I was surprised to see Kenneth Branagh as the director because it bares no indication of his style. It is clearly based on an adapted stage play (Anthony Shaffer's Tony Award-winning work) with exceptionally limited setting and only two characters. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0857265/
