About this product

Product Information

Inspired by a true story, 21 mixes Las Vegas casino wheeling and dealing with college-kid angst: think OCEAN'S ELEVEN via THE PAPER CHASE. Kevin Spacey is crafty MIT professor Micky Rosa, who trains brainiac students to count cards and then flies them out to Vegas to raid the blackjack tables between classes. At first they rake in a bundle, but then catch the unwanted attention of tough-guy security chief, Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne) who wants to prove himself before he's replaced by face recognition software. Super math genius Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) originally joins the ring in order to come up with the $300,000 he needs for tuition money, but he's also gaga over the ring's resident babe, Jill (Kate Bosworth). When he finds out Professor Rosa hasn't been dealing entirely from a straight deck, Ben's high-end shopping spree dreams turn sour (though card counting is not illegal) and the battle of wits is on, no second chances given. Spacey is in his preternaturally calm, morally compromised element, stealing scenes left and right; Fishburne brings the hangdog depth; and everything bubbles over the 24-karat rocks, courtesy of director Robert Luketic (LEGALLY BLONDE). 21 is based on the bestseller BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE by Ben Mezrich.

    What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Always Stay There!

    This little movie with very few well known actors is about using a system of gambling on blackjack called "counting cards." Kevin Spacey plays Micky Rosa, a math professor at MIT, who recruits and trains students in the system and then flies them to Las Vegas to work the system. They will share the profits 50% for Rosa and the rest shared equally among the student team--5 of them for 10% each. Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgis) is recruited as the head leader on the team because he is supersmart in Math at MIT. He resists at first, but he really does have a need for money because he wants to go to Harvard Medical School as soon as he graduates from MIT. The bill for Harvard Medical School will be $300,000, and he is just getting by working in a men's store in Boston. We also learn at the ...

    21 (DVD, 2008)

    Really slick movie about real-life card sharking in the casinos of Las Vegas. For the most part, only a few have the analytical skills to successfully count cards and process that information without being caught. It isn't illegal, but you will wind up in an alley with your brains lying beside you, if you get caught. You see, casinos don't plan to lose, and when they do, someone's ass is usually in the wringer. This movie is a story of teamwork between specially trained card players. Not just ordinary people, but a bunch of MIT geniuses. That's right, real geniuses, and they got away with it - until they got caught! This is a clever movie in the "Ocean's 11" genre. My uncle, who used to be a lifetime gambler, and incidentally, died broke, once told me - "You can never beat a man at his own ...

    Very entertaining

    Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) gives a great performance as an MIT Professor who recruits students to be part of his black jack card counting gang. Ben Campbell plays the "A+ Student" who is recruited to be the main player. Laurence Fishburne (Cole Williams) also gives an outstanding performance. The movie starts out a bit slow as the Director spends a bit too much time introducing the characters. After that the movie takes off and draws you into the life of High Stakes Gambling. Overall the movie is very entertaining and I would recommend it to anyone who likes movies. Rated 4 of 5 for another outstanding performance by a strong cast.

    Bringing Down the House...almost

    After Reading Ben Mezrich's "Bringing Down the House", upon which this movie is based, I was excited to the movie. I am usually let down by movies that are based on books, but that was not the case this time. Although there were a handful of cliché parts of the movie, all in all it was excellently done. The visual effects were well done, and the acting on the part of Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, and Kate Bosworth, was exemplary. Some people may criticize Spacey for his 'gusto', but I believe his portrayal of Mickey was stellar. The movie had suspense, a solid plot line, scattered funny scenes, and a good ending. The people I went with, none of whom had read the book, found it an even better movie than I did. If you like the movie enough, I recommend reading the book for a more complete ...

    Not bad, but could have been GREAT!

    I read numerous books on this exact topic, so I was extremely excited for the movie to come out. I was a bit disappointed to see the story focus much more on the characters than on the whole card counting method. The early part of the movie, where the main character learns to count cards is true to form, but a lot of other things are out of nowhere and have no factual basis. This movie never says it represents the actual story, so they were able to deviate from the true story quite a bit. Overall the movie was good, but if included a bit more of the facts, and showed a bit more of the methods used to count the cards, it would have been great for people, like myself, who followed the real story closely.
