An unconvincing exercise in moral complexity, 21 is based on Ben Mezrich's book Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions. Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) plays brilliant, blue-collar scholar Ben Campbell, whose doubts that he'll win a scholarship to Harvard Medical School compel him to join a secret, M.I.T. gang of math whiz kids. Under the silky but chilling command of a math professor (Kevin Spacey), Jim and the others master card counting, i.e., the statistical analysis of cards dealt in blackjack games. The team lives a humdrum existence during the week, but on weekends in Sin City, the students are rolling in cash, going to exclusive clubs, and feeling on top of the world. (Ben even gets the girl: a comely, fellow counter played by Kate Bosworth.) Despite all that success, Ben feels ethically compromised, and indeed director Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde), in the old tradition of American movies, plays it both ways where fun vices are concerned. On the one hand, it feels so good; on the other, ahem, we know it's wrong. That studied ambivalence proves wearing after a while, making the most interesting character in the film a casino watchdog played by Laurence Fishburne. A master at reading the emotions of gamblers beating the house with a scam, he's admirable for being good at his job, but repellent for wrecking the faces of counters in casino dungeons. He's all about moral complexity in the tradition of anti-heroes, and a truly provocative element in an otherwise superficial movie. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - GREAT MOVIE! KEVIN SPACEY IS WONDERFUL!
I gave this to someone and they said it was full of action and he loved Kevin Spacey. I am also a Kevin Spacey fan and I although I do not think this is his best part I always enjoy his acting. He brings different characters to life in a very unique way. My friend says see it.
Rating: - 21
I think this film came at a great time when Poker Tournaments are huge these days. However, 21 focuses more on the main character using his skills of counting cards as part of what he needs to do to make money to go to medical school. Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Spacey turn out great performances here. However, the younger supporting cast including JIm Sturgess steals the show. You don't have to be a Poker love to love 21. I chose the SIngle-Disc edition because the only extra on the 2-Disc edition ... Read More
