I'm not going to watch it because I have read the novel some years back and I do remember it was very intriguing novel although it was about chess. And I also remember that Heath Ledger was actually planning to make it into a movie which he would direct.
Also, if you want to read another interesting novella about chess check out "The Royal Game" by Stefan Zweig.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
