Dull, Dumb, Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (9 April 2008)

I won't touch on the fact that an Asian is being played by Jim Sturgess.
I won't touch on Spacey's offhand comment that there's no way women could handle high-stakes gambling.
I won't explore the ramifications of the UTTER lack of chemistry between Sturgess and Bosworth. I will, however, quote Bosworth herself, saying that they both had to get dead drunk before their half-minute romantic exchange.
But I will say that montages are not an acceptable substitute for storytelling, nerds don't argue about "rounding errors" when they mathematically rate girls' attractiveness, and movies that purport to be based on true stories should NEVER mangle the facts the way 21 does.
