An incredibly fun film that has you on the edge of your seat as time runs out to get the publishing rights to Tetris. Crooked KGB henchmen, crooked executives, and bureaucracy threaten to get in the way of a lucrative deal for all involved. The actors are charming, and there is a little dash of humour throughout. Where "Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game" was fun, humorous, and romantic, this movie is a somewhat humourous spy thriller with a dash of corporate greed thrown in. I thoroughly enjoyed this, along with the retro aesthetics.

Alas, like all the shark movies that followed Jaws, this one also suffers from ridiculousness. It features characters you can't relate to because they make stupid decisions and sharks that swim at the speed of sound. Even though Jaws featured the worst animatronic ever, it was a slow, scary, and tense masterpiece. This movie has tense moments, some slight jump scares, and that's it. CGI is ok. I suppose it's better than most of the shark garbage since 1975. That's not saying much. Still, it's fine for wasting couch time on a weekday evening.
