Life of a King (2013)
Directed by Jake
Goldberger this film based on a true story stars Cuba Gooding, jr.
Dennis Hasbert and Lisa Gay Hamilton. Recently released from prison a
convicted felon starts a chess club to try and help the youth in his
inner city neighbourhood.
The plot of this film
is a pretty standard turning your life around and helping poor youth
film that there are plenty of similar versions of out there. While
this film may be based on a real story it seems that nearly all the
details have been changed and the story bares little similarity to
the real Eugene Brown's story. In terms of the execution of the film
there is nothing wrong with it but it offers nothing much of interest
either.
2/5
