About the movie

21 is a movie about six MIT students counting cards in Vegas to make millions. Ben is very good at math and numbers, he had a 4.0 GPA and was looking to get into Harvard. He was being interviewed by a guy in Harvard that would give the scholarship and wanted something that would dazzle him, so Ben told him the story. There was an open spot on the team because one of them left so they wanted someone who was good with numbers, which was Ben. Ben was extremely good at counter cards because it was like a memory game. At first Ben refused to join their group because he didn't think it was right but he needed money so he would be able to go to Harvard. So he ends up joining because of a girl they he was secretly in love with. Then he ends up "dating" he later in the film. So they made millions of dollars when they went to Vegas except for one night, Ben was feeling down because his friends have left him because he would work on there robotic project with them, With this feeling he lost concentration on the card count and wouldn't back out when he was supposed to causing them to lose $200,000. Their teach is furious and Ben said he wasn't gonna give the money back. The group of students decided to then risk their own money and take one last shot but then the teacher turns them in and goes back to Ben's room and find his money and takes it. When Ben got cought they set up a plan to make Micky come back into the casino so he could take care of him once and for all. Ben ends up luring him in and then he gets beaten, and also gets his grades back. That was the story that was told to be "dazzling" during the interview.

My Opinion

I think this movie was a very interesting Drama, and kept you thinking what would happen next. I will definetly buy the DVD when this movie comes out. I would recommend that people here go see it in the theaters because it is a great movie or at least just check out the preview. For those that have saw this movie, tell me your opinion about it.

I haven't seen it yet although I saw it advertised on TV and thought it was really interesting. Probably arrange to see it later on in the Easter holidays and give you my verdict.

I haven't seen it...I don't plan to see it in theaters. Some of my friends thought it was bad and some though it was good. Well, the girls thought it was bad and the guys thought it was good. I have a pretty low expectations of it though as I've read the book. I don't think it follows the book much as it's probably more spiced up and glamorized than the book plus the main characters are all Caucasian....I believe the book is much more Asian. The book's called Bringin Down The House for those that are interested.

I've seen it and thought it was pretty good. More time to build up the other characters would be better. Decent movie filled with twists in the plot towards the end.

7.5/10
