Movie Reviews of 21 (Single-Disc Edition)
Movie Review: Entertaining Film, however a bit predictable!
Summary: 4 Stars
A Brilliant student from MIT strives hard to join Harvard Medical School. He doesn't have the required tuition money to join Harvard and as a result has only 2 options, either earn a difficult scholarship or arrange USD 300,000 to pay the tuition.
In one of his Math classes, he impresses his teacher with his mathematical logic. Later on he is invited to join a secret gambling team led by his Math teacher that travels every weekend to Las Vegas and win lots of cash. This student accepts the invitation for the sake of having enough money to join Harvard Medical School.
This movie is quite a long one, but because it was entertaining we didn't feel the time.
It reminded me of Ocean's Eleven.
Unfortunately the fate of Kevin Spacey and the student at the end was very predictable.
Movie Review: 21 - a fun Ride while it lasted
Summary: 4 Stars
Jim Sturgess plays Ben, a working-class science nerd . He needs to find tuition for Harvard. Along comes his favorite math professor, Kevin Spacey, with an offer of extra credit that pays off in hard cash. The clincher is an invitation from the campus golden girl,Kate Bosworth, to join the team.
Ben ignores the obvious foreshadowing and joins Team Vegas, a gang of weekend card sharks with seductive double lives. At least until he loses his mentor's money and Spacey turns his charm into a threat.
Without giving away too much, let me just say, if you enjoy the rush of the fast life, and you also enjoyed the book "Bringing Down the House", give this movie a go.
Movie Review: Not a Bad Movie at All!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this was a fun movie to watch. It was cool how they filmed at Planet Hollywood, Red Rock Resort and Hard Rock Casinos. Makes me want to go out to Vegas to try my luck!!!
I have read the book Bringing Down the House and the movie doesn't follow the story exactly but what movie does? Just wondering why they didn't call the movie Bringing Down the House instead. This is a much better title than the bland 21.
I agree with a previous poster that Kate Bosworth's hair was not very attractive in the film. I guess they are trying to say MIT girls aren't as pretty compared to schools like UCLA or Florida.
Movie Review: 21 A Good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
There is only one Las Vegas movie out there that is worth five stars and that's Martin Scorsese's Casino with Robert Deniro.
I saw the trailer couple of months ago before going to see it. And From what the preview was showing it was going to be a slack buster. But as it turns out this movie is very entertaining, and very well acted. If you want a good movie that will keep you going, I strongly recommend you see this both to buy or rent.
It has some awesome scenes and a good little twist at the end. Very good film. 4 stars
Movie Review: Winner, winner, chicken dinner
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie. I had zero expectations heading into it, and only after I started watching it did I realise it was based, loosely, on the book Bringing Down the House. I'd thoroughly enjoyed the book, and found the movie entertaining. Students head to Vegas and count cards with their professor and discover a completely new life. It reminded me in parts of "Rounders" meets "Good Will Hunting". I was inspired to go to gamble in Vegas - possibly not the best take-home message, but since Vegas is so far away, one that I can live with.
