Apple TV+'s Tetris is a breezy political thriller that's undeniably entertaining, if a bit shallow. The TaronEgerton-led film is streaming now.
Tetris Score Details “Apple TV+'s Tetris is a breezy, easy-to-watch political thriller that's undeniably entertaining, even if there isn't much going on beneath its surface.” Pros Cons Tetris is a sleek, well-directed political thriller that rarely ever takes itself too seriously. The film is, in other words, a perfect addition to Apple TV+’s growing library of movie and TV originals.
Based on real-life events, Tetris follows Henk Rogers , a Dutch-American entrepreneur based in Japan whose life is turned upside down when he is given the chance to play a brand-new video game about falling blocks called Tetris at a 1980s video game convention in Las Vegas.
From there, Noah Pink’s script for Tetris quickly evolves from a jargon-heavy story about behind-the-scenes business operations and deals into a full-blown Cold War thriller. For the most part, Tetris manages to nail its midpoint transition, too. There are moments throughout its second half, however, where the film’s espionage twists and set pieces — namely, a third-act car chase through Moscow — begin to strain the movie’s admittedly lightweight sense of logic and real-world credibility.
At the center of all of the film’s drama is Egerton, who brings so much energy and charisma to his performance as Tetris’ central businessman that it’s easy to get just as swept up in Henk’s dreams about the future as so many of the movie’s other characters. While Egerton manages to bring a commendable level of authenticity and realism to even Henk’s most naïve moments, the film’s attempts to flesh out his home life aren’t as successful.
