Review of Pawn

Pawn (I) (2013)
7/10
Not a preposterous movie. Mostly.

Lots of good names in the cast of this surprisingly low-budget caper. Neatly positioned story with some spots where you'll just have to shrug and say "whatever", but for the most part a good watch. Some of the writing is a bit simple and could have used a once-over, but it's not too bad. Chiklis as the cockney-ed thug is surprisingly believable, and I wanted Common to have better dialogue to go off of but he seemed really hampered by the script. This should have been a decent spot for him to ad-lib. The cast is full of that-guys-and-girls so you'll be entertained far more than the box office receipts would lead you to believe. A few weak performances with the bit players and extras but not terrible. Also, Ray Liotta. He can add a star by himself.
