Rating: 6/10 (18 April 2011)

This story is about young and brilliant, Ben Campbell(Jim Strugess), a MIT student who strives to get a scholarship at Havard School of Medicine. He is challenged at Havard to dazzle them to give him the edge to have the scholarship. Meanwhile his math professor, Micky Rosa(Kevin Spacey) finds his shrewdness with numbers and offer him to join his five-member secret club where he trains the skill of card counting in Blackjack. With requisite to fulfill his tuition fee, he agrees to be in. Not to the surprise, he excels in the skill and start spending in Las Vegas during weekends and mints the money like rapid fire with the team. Then every wish was in his way until his ego comes up.
Kevin Spacey performance is astounding. Jim is dashing in his role. All the performances are good enough for the roles. Copule of scenes are really moving.
At some point of the story felt like omg!! when this is going to end. Doesn't seem like a fact- based story.
Worth the single time watch. A good time killer.
