o-o If you don't know about this movie, I should seriously smack you right now. Small Intro : Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who--needing to pay school tuition--finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school''s most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa leading the way, they''ve cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor, Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn''t illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos'' menacing enforcer: Cole Williams. This movie was supposed to be out last year, but for some reason it didn't come out. <_> So, like, everyone knew about it, but they had to wait a year before seeing it. <_> I went to see it since it seemed pretty cool. Wasn't disappointed, even though it was kind of predictable at times. Go see it. o-o |

I liked this movie. xP But like, the most awesome thing is, it's actually loosely based on a group of MIT kids who actually did this. Except, the real "Ben" played Blackjack for the heck of it, and not for college. BUT, I guess they needed something dramatic. xP Oh, and they were all Asian too. But I'm guessing an all-Asian cast wouldn't have interested that many people. ='[ This movie really does make me wish I was good at math. 'Cause technically, you don't NEED a group to win Blackjack. Oh, and the movie totally dramatized the whole backroom where the beatings take place. Valex, did YOU write that summary? xD It'd be effing hilarious if you did. |
