   Apr 1, 2016 · Strategy combats chaos, strategy focuses people on one goal, and with strategy, winning is actually possible. That's what "The Dark Horse" is all about. Genesis Potini is the center of "The Dark Horse," (his nickname in the chess world) and the film is as much a character study as anything else.

   “The Dark Horse” is a remarkable movie that shows that adapting does not mean giving up. Dana McSpadden (inspiringly played by Carol Roscoe) is a ballet teacher after having been a dancer. Injury prevented her from continuing to dance.

   Is the Dark Horse a good movie?

   • The Dark Horse brings Cliff Curtis back home, and he gives a performance that’s transcendent in more ways than one. The cinematography is evocative – rainy, rich, gritty and raw, for this inspiring but not always pretty story – and Curtis is 100-per-cent watchable as a puffy, mumbling shuffler whose chess lessons double as life strategies.
