Although it appears that Wright is mimicking the jowly facial expressions of Brando’s Don Corleone a little too closely, his believable performance shows his range as an actor—something his meager part in the recent “Quantum of Solace” did not. Together, Chess and Waters—along with songwriter Willie Dixon, played by Cedric the Entertainer—begin to construct the Chess empire. Dixon’s voiceover, which opens and closes the film, serves...
