Tetris Rules the Game Universe!

If you ever wondered about the origins of one of the groundbreaking handheld (think Game Boy) games, then tune into Apple +’s “Tetris”, starring Taron Egerton, formerly of Apple’s Black Bird.

This is an unnerving and captivating look at the origins of the record-shattering game from the late 80’s. Why you ask? It is a superbly crafted movie that plays like a Cold War espionage thriller shining a truly frightening light on the underbelly of the subversions and lengths the Soviet Union’s KGB would go to control the lives of their citizens.

Actor Nikita Efremov as Alexey Pajitnov, brilliantly portrays the citizen that invented the game and is persecuted by the government yet perseveres against all odds.

Taron Egerton as the central character Henk Rogers creates a superb persona-driven to succeed based on his unwavering quest to do what is right and protect the inventor.

Not be overlooked are Robert Allam as brutally conniving media mogul Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine Maxwell’s father – she of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal fame) and Toby Jones (Truman Capote in Infamous) as Robert Stein, who first discovers Tetris’ potential business opportunity.

Definitely put this on your “must-see” list.
