...Zwick er dygtig til at skære ind til benet ved hjælp af et højt fortællingstempo, der stadig formår at få alle aspekterne af historien med uden at gå på kompromis med filmens underholdningsværdi.

Tobey Maguire er glimrende som det storskrydende skakgeni Bobby Fischer, der under den kolde krig splintrede Sovjetunionens herredømme på det ternede bræt.

...præcis som i Stefan Zweigs klassiske Skaknovelle viser skak sig her som et narkotikum, der både forbander og beruser. Det gør Pawn Sacrifice – Sidste træk måske ikke ligefrem, men nyd den som en effektiv thriller.
