-21?

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2018)

I gave this a 4 because I wanted to nod to the cinematography and the cast, but other than that, I agree with most user reviews.... there are simply too many mistakes for supposed MIT geniuses to make.
1. Going to the same casino on repeat. - As another user pointed out, Vegas IS casinos, so why consistently go to the same one, especially consider Spacey's character knows that the casino is scouted by the man who cause him in the past.
2. Using the same signals.- Hand gestures are a dime a dozen, you're telling me they couldn't use a cycle formula to change them out from time to time, if they're spending so much time on disguises, then why not seconds on gestures?
3. Glorification of power and corruption as a shocker (it wasn't a shocker).
4. Stashing over $300,000 grand in your dorm room ceiling? - Get a safe deposit box for goodness sake.
5. Falling for the girl that of course gave you no mind before. - Tired story line that could have been completely left out all together.
It's just a sad thing because based off of the book and the cast it had true potential, but if you want to play 'look how smart this team is', then stick with the plot line and don't let their genius be valid or apparent only in Vegas.
