Movie Reviews of 21 (Single-Disc Edition)
Movie Review: Blackjack!
Summary: 5 Stars
The following is quoted directly from the MIT website concerning the release of "21":
"The movie "21" , a fictional work loosely based on the story of the MIT blackjack team..."
"Their story became Ben Mezrich's book "Bringing Down the House", which is served as the basis for the fictional "21."
So what's with the quotes? Audiences, as well as directors know that if you put a History channel documentary on the big screen, nobody will want to go see it. So as a warning, this movie is loosely based on a book that was written about a true story and was spiced up a bit for entertainment purposes.
A group of MIT students led by Ben (Jim Sturgess) and their teacher Mickey Ross (Kevin Spacey) go to Vegas every weekend to count cards and come away with thousands of dollars in profit. After several successful weekends, their card counting plot is no longer unnoticed. Overly thorough casino security guard Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne) vows to put an end to their card counting days.
"21" is a highly entertaining film. Spacey and Fishburne are nothing short of exceptional. Just keep in mind that this is loosely based on a true story, so what you are getting from this film did not exactly happen in that fashion. Instead, watch it for entertainment. So, hit or stay. I'd choose to stay, because with this movie, you've got blackjack.
