Tetris...
Nintendo...
Game Boy...
and when the USSR was the villain in movies...
Man I miss the 80s!
The true story of the fight for Tetris that seems too unbelievable to be true. And a great testament to the fact that "good ideas have no borders".
You can always count on Marky Mark for a mildly amusing action movie. Sure it has plenty of plot holes and cheesy dialogue, but it also has some sweet family moments as well. Much like most moms, Michelle Monaghan's sincerity is the glue that keeps The Family (Plan) together.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It did start out with some style and fun, but definitely overstays its welcome. And when literally everybody is a con artist and a liar, everything is entirely too predictable. But a fine enough con movie to pass the time.
This is a well crafted movie, from the score, makeup, production design, costumes, performances, and editing.
It makes you feel tense and unsettled throughout, however nothing ever really surprises you (except for a couple good jump scares). Perhaps it's because this just feels like a by the book retelling of an age old story. With everything simply unfolding as you expect, I would have enjoyed Eggers taking more creative liberties to subvert our expectations, or bring us something we haven't…
