21 Goes Bust
Friday April 11, 2008
21 has been the top movie at the box office for last two weeks. It is about a team of MIT students who use Blackjack card counting to beat the casinos. The movie is billed as being based on Ben Mezrich's book, Bringing Down the House which I read when it was first published. I had high expectations when I heard that it would be made into a film. Unfortunately what seemed to be an exciting concept for a movie fails to deliver because of the over dramatization and unrealistic portrayal of a blackjack card counting team. Here is my review.
