Woow.....It's my first time going to the casino.
21, based on a true story and also draw from the best selling book "Bringing Down The House" by Ben Mezrich. This film is directed by Robert Luketic who also directed "Legally Blonde" in 2001. This movie is about a student, Ben Campbell who want the scholarship to transfer to the Harvard School of Medicine. His desire is to become a doctor and he knows he cannot afford $300,000. So he joined a group of student, and they are trained to have skill in counting card at black jack. Every weekend, they fly to the Las Vegas and using their skills, hand signal to win a lot of money in casino. Jim Sturgess act as Ben Mezrich. His acting in this movie is average, not so good and not so bad. Sometimes he looks cool, but sometimes make the audiences feel like the actor is in low energy. For Kevin Spacey, act as the professor, done a great job in this movie. Besides acting, this movie give me a lot of disappointment actually. I like the story of this movie, it's very entertaining. But the director spoiled it. First, is the plot. The plot is going not in the straight line, it sometimes skip to other scene and came back again. It's make the audiences very confuse. The movie became a bit draggy sometimes. It makes me feel like lots talking less card playing. That's mean the audiences don't actually see enough of the card playing to satisfy. This movie gives a lot of messages about life and money but the ending seems to be negated all of it. This movie ending is not really nice, and before reach the ending the sequences it's a bit similar with "Ocean Eleven". Overall, "Take us too long to reach the high wire."
