And there's enough international espionage in there to make it exciting - and it has an inspiring story about the freedom of choice if you look close enough, too. Tetris tries too hard at timesįrom its humble beginnings (there was a game called GO that flopped) to a spy-vs-spy game where the Russians are pitting interlopers against each other, Tetris does its best to deliver a lot with a story that isn't exactly Die Hard.
This is mostly a problem with being under-written in the script, though Trifonov looking like a Soviet Pete Campbell doesn't really help him. The latter two, as well as Igor Grabuzov's Communist Party villain Valentin Trifonov, though, fail to rise to the level of their co-stars. Those include MCU vet Toby Jones, Roger Allam and Anthony Boyle as the slimy father/son duo who are intent on getting all the Tetris rights for themselves. Egerton plays the role with equal parts charm, ambition and eagerness, and those characteristics are amplified by how he's surrounded by snakes. Fortunately, Egerton's performance isn't just about sales, as his love of video games and coding lead to fantastic moments, especially with Nikita Efremov, who plays Tetris inventor Alexey Pajitnov.Īnd since most of the characters orbit around Rogers, it makes sense that Egerton is the lynchpin of the film. Either way, Tetris is another solid link in Egerton's filmography, as he puts a lot of humanity into Henk Rogers, the guy who got the rights to distribute Tetris.
