Good in the beginning and bad at the end

Rating: 4/10 (18 June 2009)

In the beginning of the movie you feel bad for Ben Campbell here because nobody is appreciating all the hard work that he is doing and he feels that people only respect money which is what eventually seduces him into this card counting business.
Well the movie quickly starts going down hill from that point on. The beginning is the best part, the middle is worse, and the ending is the worst.
Anyways when he is card counting he encounters Laurence Fishburne who can somehow unrealistically transport to the same casino as him. After card counting for a while he gets 315,000$ and keeps it in his dorm room where it gets stolen which is insanely stupid. Who would keep 300 grand in his dorm room??!?!
Anyways lets move on to the even stupider parts of this movie. Afterwards there is a chase scene where Kevin Spacey is conveniently lead to a limousine which has one of the casino bosses in it but seriously the odds of him even going that way was very low anyways the whole movie gets really very silly and confusing at the ending.
I mean the whole movie leads up to this? It didn't even make a heck of a lot of sense there like he went through all that getting screwed over in card counting and yet he still wants to bring his friends into it?? I mean there is no real climax in this movie. It leads up to nothing. I cannot give this more then a 4/10.
