21 (Blu-ray Disc, 2008)

I saw this in a movie theatre, and while the film critics didn't like it, I saw it because I love Las Vegas. But the story pivets between Boston (at MIT) and Las Vegas. I'm from New Haven, so this was an easy story for me to like.

21 is a movie that is based upon real life events. The movie is loosely based upon the book Bringing Down the House.

The movie revolves around a young student who has straight A+'s at MIT. He is trying to get $300,000 to attend Harvard Medical School.

Since he doesn't have the cash around he actually is recruited by one of his statistic professors, played by Spacey, to join a group of professional blackjack counters who all attend MIT.

The movie deals with how the young student goes about changing and growing towards his dream. He is dogged by a casino security guard played by Laurence Fishburne as he counts his way towards hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The movie is solid but drags in a few places. Overall though the story does carry you through the movie.

4/5

Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) gives a great performance as an MIT Professor who recruits students to be part of his black jack card counting gang.

Ben Campbell plays the "A+ Student" who is recruited to be the main player.

Laurence Fishburne (Cole Williams) also gives an outstanding performance.

The movie starts out a bit slow as the Director spends a bit too much time introducing the characters. After that the movie takes off and draws you into the life of High Stakes Gambling.

Overall the movie is very entertaining and I would recommend it to anyone who likes movies.

Rated 4 of 5 for another outstanding performance by a strong cast.

After Reading Ben Mezrich's "Bringing Down the House", upon which this movie is based, I was excited to the movie. I am usually let down by movies that are based on books, but that was not the case this time.

Although there were a handful of cliché parts of the movie, all in all it was excellently done. The visual effects were well done, and the acting on the part of Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, and Kate Bosworth, was exemplary. Some people may criticize Spacey for his 'gusto', but I believe his portrayal of Mickey was stellar.

The movie had suspense, a solid plot line, scattered funny scenes, and a good ending. The people I went with, none of whom had read the book, found it an even better movie than I did. If you like the movie enough, I recommend reading the book for a more complete story.

The video comes out very clean to the point of seeing moire in fine detail such as shirts and grain on the source. It shows how a school kid ironically makes a memory out of his mundane life to move on with his life and reach his goal by unexpected means. It's not perfect by any means but it's definitely worth renting. Just remember it's not meant to mirror the MIT student story but borrows the concept and does get cliché.

The product is not working so no comment. I just want to see the movie.
I just write what I think. O.K

It worked and was shipped fast. It was also a good movie. I would definitly buy from this seller again

Great movie - a lot of fun! Plenty of insights into vegas and card counting, but great characters and very entertaining.

I liked this movie a lot, i play cards so i like card game movies or casino movies like rounders, casino, 007, etc. It also has a good ending.

I bought a bluray movie and i received very quickly. Excelent quick service. I look forward to buying from you again! Thank You!!

very fast shipping and item was exactly the way it was described. I am very happy with product and would definately do business again. Sorry for late review.

recieved promptly and in great condition. based off of the sellers great selling history. good price.

Hollywood took GREAT liberties with this movie but overall, this is a great movie to watch when you've had a long day of work and just want to watch a movie that is what it is. i know it sounds like i'm trashing it but i'm not. Hey, i fought hard to win it on Ebay so that says something. worth a rental if you get a chance. Peace.

Easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. The movie came quick and in great packaging. Definitely satisfied with the service.

This movie is great!!! Its very interesting & It looks really nice in bluray. Thats all i got to say =)

Funny etc...

21 - A great movie telling the true story of the MIT students making hundreds of thousands of dollars playing blackjack. If you watched Matt Damon and Edward Norton in Rounders you will love this movie.
Definately worth buying on blu-ray, beautiful picture.

very well put together movie, lots of laughs and very serious moments. kevin spacey rocks this movie. great for all kinds of card players.

Was to slow not enough going on not keep you attention, The cast was great but they were all over the place in the movie, it could have been a great movie if it would have been put together better, I don't feel it was worth watching and noy a movie you should buy you will be disapointed
