Movie Review: 21

I've just gotten home after dragging Ace off to see a preview of this tonight for which I had won tickets. It's predictable but the best part was the previews before - Will Smith's & Adam Sandler's new movies. They look entertaining!

Plot: Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who – needing to pay school tuition – who finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school’s most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favour.

With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa leading the way, they’ve cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor, Ben begins to push the limits.

Though counting cards isn’t illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos’ menacing enforcer: Cole Williams.
