Review of Checkmate

Checkmate (2024)
6/10
Dubbed spoof action comedy romp
18 May 2024
Not to be taken seriously, its just grounded enough in the espionage genre to maintain engagement throughout all the ridiculosity. Appropriate soundtracking ends with Kool & the Gang's party classic Celebrate, reveled in at a bar mitzvah in Tel Aviv. An unusual combination of intrigue and slapstick makes it watchable in spite of the awkward multi-language patois being spoken, dubbed and subtitled in a convoluted manner that actually goes with the zany characterizations and circumstances. All in all, with respectable cinematography, adequate effects, tongue-in-cheek humor and plenty of action this flick winds up being likeable.
