Tetris

Like the video game itself, this drew me in and got me hooked. It’s a deceptively simple biopic at first, but gradually and cleverly turns into a cold-war thriller. Who knows how much of this weird stuff actually happened? But according to the film, the Russians did everything they could do to make this deal as overly complicated as possible; trying to beat the capitalists at their own game. It’s a miracle we have the game at all, the way they sabotaged themselves. It’s well-acted, fast-paced, and shines a light on a weird little story that most of us never knew.
