“Winner Winner Chicken Dinner”….21 :: Review
Based on Ben Mezrich’s bestselling novel “Bringing Down the House,” 21 is about MIT math genius Ben Campbell’s adventure into the world of blackjack card counting. It is a movie inspired by a true story, but don’t look for solid facts. The real Ben is actually an Asian kid. Ben needs $300,000, or a full scholarship, to get into Harvard Medical school. Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) has an unusual blackjack club at MIT. On weekends, Micky flies the “MIT Blackjack Club” to Las Vegas where four members count cards at the blackjack tables and bet strategically to make thousands of dollars. The casinos start to catch on as the money flows away from them, and security pro Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne) begins to uncover Micky’s elaborate scheme.
21 is fun weekend movie because of its carefree style and attitude. It has its flaws as some points during the movie were boring, but if you enjoy the adrenaline and glamour of Vegas gaming, you’ll enjoy it. I won’t ruin the it, but the ending is a damn good one.
