Adelaide Review

A hugely chunked-up Curtis, a Kiwi actor who's worked all over the world but returned home to star in and help produce Robertson's film, is masterly here.

This year, Disney bypassed the feel-good sports movie, and luckily for U.S. audiences, we got a smaller but better version with The Dark Horse.

Curtis is 100-per-cent watchable as a puffy, mumbling shuffler whose chess lessons double as life strategies.
