A sappy M.I.T. student, turns his life upside down by falling in with a group of high stakes Vegas card counters, in hopes of earning money for medical school.

Rating: 2/10 (29 March 2008)

This movie put me to sleep faster than 3 Nyquil and a pint of Jack Daniels. The plot was weak. Every turn could be seen from a mile away. What little character development did take place, was contradicted within the first 20 minutes of the nearly 3 hour movie. If you are expecting an intelligent, action packed, white knuckle, edge of your seat Vegas flick like any of the Oceans trilogy, then save your money. Stay at home and order an On-Demand Cable HD version of Waterworld. You'll save about $20 and you'll at least be supporting really decent no-name actors like Jean Tripplehorn and the little girl who later went on to play Napoleon Dynamite's girlfriend. If you do go see this flick despite my warning, bring a pillow. Believe me, you'll be glad you did after about halfway through the movie.
