A highly charged , entertaining flick!

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2008)

21 tells the story of several students from MIT who go to Vegas and make a killing through counting cards which is legal. Anybody who is strapped for cash and is a bit of a wheeler-dealer should check this movie out. Right from the start 21 wastes no time with getting straight into the action , it sets the scene in a great way which makes you really feel for main characters and their reasons for doing this. The laughs were plenty and the movie rolled enough at a fast enough pace for you to catch up on everything. My only problem was that it felt like a typical Hollywood movie put together with glitz and light and had a typical formula ending but having said that it made up for it with its high on entertainment value. Another thing which I find a little offensive to a degree was that the real MIT was actually a group of Asian students and really made me wonder how actuate the story truly was although it was inspired by true events. To conclude 21 , was a highly entertaining flick which gave us a brief insight into how to the game of cards and also told a highly entertaining story , defiantly worth checking out.
21 - 8.3 OUT OF 10
WINNER WINNER..CHICKEN DINNER !!
