The Draughtsmen Clash (1996)
This film tells the story of the president of a fictitious African nation who spends a sleepless night playing checkers with a pot-smoking vagabond who claims to be the all-round champion.

His reward, and his fate, will not surprise anyone.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
