boring and forced

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2008)

21 is a well directed and rather interesting story about MIT kids counting cards and making loads of cash. Okay, well the thing that didn't do well is the relationship between the main characters, their chemistry felt very forced and synthetic and it was very boring. Kate moss, or whatever her name was, her attractiveness even felt forced. She's pretty but shes no knock out. It was very repetitive and it dragged on and on with all the thinking of numbers this kid cycled through. It's just not that special a story for the big screen, you can get that kind of entertainment off the show numbers. I'm not saying its not worth seeing, its worth a rental... not the box office it has racked up.
