People who grew up in the '80s or '90s most likely knew about Tetris, even if they didn't play it. What they probably didn't know was the story of how it became an internationally popular game. Jon S. Baird's "Tetris" is the story of how programmer Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton) went to the Soviet Union and not only met designer Aleksey Pazhitnov (Nikta Efremov) but found out about a corrupt deal with a media mogul. All sorts of slimy stuff went on.
While the portrayal of the Soviet functionaries is a bit cliched, it remains an interesting story. Controversy has also arisen over the casting of Egerton as Rogers, who in reality is of part Indonesian descent. Sure happens a lot.
Anyway, a movie that you're sure to find gripping. As it turns out, one of Robert Maxwell's daughters is none other than Jeffrey Epstein's crony Ghislaine Maxwell. Total slimeballs, all of them.
