Worth to watch

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2008)

21 is a movie that will catch you from the very beginning, in my opinion it has everything a movie needs to enjoy and entertain. Its a very well developed drama with some moments of adventure and with the necessary amount of humor. It has a really quick rhythm causing the movie to never fall down and get tiresome. With a very interesting and original story based on actual events, about Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who--needing to pay school tuition--finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. It has a very good cast, beginning with Kevin Spacey in the role of Micky Rosa, an ironic and greedy math professor, his performance is almost brilliant, Lawrence Fishburne as the casino's guard is excellent as always in his acting, Jim Sturgess is convincing enough, he really makes you to believe him in this role and Kate Bosworth was also very good. In conclusion, this is a movie worth to watch and very recommendable.
