A video game designer discovers that a game called Tetris exists, and a witchhunt for obtaining its rights begins that involves its creator, international corporations and the Soviet Union.
A brilliant mix of genres that informs, entertains and thrills. Writer Noah Pink, producer Matthew Vaughn, and director Jon S. Baird create a biography/drama/mystery/thriller that involves a lot of humour, fast-paced sequences and suspenseful moments that pin you down. A man and his will to succeed, corporate greed and a declining empire all blend smoothly into a two-hour film that involves a lot of (mis)information, personal drama, high stakes and intrigues and reveals how sometimes the ropes work behind simple pleasures of life, in this instance, Tetris. While we all played the game, we could never possibly fathom that these were the circumstances behind its creation and expansion.
In front of the camera, Taron Egerton, Nikita Efremov, Toby Jones, Roger Allam, Anthony Boyle, Ayane Nagabuchi, and the rest of the cast create excellent chemistry, delivering performances that support the emotions the script intends to create. Egerton especially holds no punches in the pursuit of happiness and shows once more what a diverse actor he is.
Highly recommended for the whole family and a night full of entertainment and suspense.
