Some good and some weak parts from Jack Masters

Jack Masters as Dan in Malibu Chess (2021) made me pay attention more than I expected. Some parts are good, but other parts feel normal and not very fresh. There are good moments, especially when the scene is quiet. The performance is okay for the movie, but sometimes it feels a little flat. I wanted more detail, but it still has some useful emotion. I can understand what the actor wants to do, but not every scene is strong. This is only my personal view, but the performance changed how I enjoyed the film.
