Title: Does Not Capture the True Story -
Product review: "21" is based loosley on the book about six MIT students who count cards and took Vegas for millions.It did not translate to the screen well, and becomes boring. "21" needs to capture the excitement of gambling and the risks the students took to please a cunning MIT professor, Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey). The professor has culled the top math students at MIT to "count" cards to make a bundle in Vegas. Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) needs money for the $300,000 MIT tuition. He is logical, cool, and plans his life accordingly. The proposal Professor Rosa makes to him gives Ben second thoughts, but he eventually caves in, partly to be with his lady-love, Jill (Kate Bosworth).So Professor Rosa and the six students become card-counting experts, with a goal to swindle millions out of Las Vegas casinos.The film is based on the nonfiction best-seller.
