Endgame DVD Review Coming 8/2
Endgame is a movie that is based On The Inspirational True Story.
Since he was 5 years old, Jose (Rico Rodriguez, Modern Family) has learned from his Abuelita (Ivonne Coll, Jane The Virgin) how to play chess like his grandfather, who was a champion in Mexico.
Now that he is part of the Brownsville school team, Jose is able to use his skills and, for once in his life, find himself in the spotlight, as he tries to help his team make it to the Texas state finals. Their coach, Mr. Alvarado (Efren Ramirez, Napoleon Dynamite), teaches his students the meaning of perseverance and team effort in the face of adversity, Jose discovers his own strengths and uses them to bring his broken family together.
I always enjoy inspirational stories, especially the ones that make you feel good inside when it is over. This movie has parts that makes me think of, “Searching for Bobby Fischer”, “Knights of the South Bronx”, or even the documentary “Chess Kids”.
About the Movie:

Endgame is a fictional story based on true events – how an impoverished high school in the border town of Brownsville, Texas, started a chess team and went on to become state champions.
