The 'based on a true story' telling of how the rights to the tetris game were sought after. Tetris was created by a Russian programmer and sold licensing to a western game developer. But the western companies were unethical, creating and distributing the game without actual regard for the licensing rights. When a small developer gets into the mix to bring it to Nintendo for their new GameBoy handheld, he ends up having to travel to Moscow to negotiate new rights. Interesting, but the first 2/3 was really necessary but to much setup. The final 1/3 actually gets interesting and pulls you in.
3 stars (out of 5)
