"21 the movie"

Meet me, the movie buff, I don't quite remember when I became a movie buff... I did watch quite a few movies, but they never became a part of me, like the way they have now, courtesy a friend in Mumbai... whatever little time I've spent with her, well we've seen so many movies together, that I grew addictive...

Anyways... of late the movies that I've been watching have only managed to substitute for the boredom.

21..........

I had an option of watching either the new release, THE BANK JOB or 21, I had a feeling that 21 is something I'm gonna really really enjoi... went ahead with the gut feel.


"Inspired by the true story of five students who changed the game forever."

"21" is the fact-based story about six MIT students who were trained to become experts in card counting and subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings.

it just took me ten minutes to fall in love with the movie, in intro, Professor Mickey is taking a maths class and he introduces them to the topic of variable change, and how it can be applied in real life situations, I just fell in love with the movie just abt right now... for that matter, I never really realised my love for numbers... uptil this moment I enjoyed playing with numbers, I've managed to use this to max score in maths many a times... but never did I knew I loved it...

Anywaz coming back to the story of 21,
The film features nice performances from actors Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne, as well as nice entries from the lesser known ensemble.

After this superb beginning... the team trained by Prof. Mickey goes to Vegas as part of the blackjack team... this is when the movie begins to seriously fall apart... the signals used in the movie to indicate each other of the Hot Table, of the hundreds and thousands of casinos in Vegas, why do they keep going to the same casinos...

To add to this the stereotypical hindi movie ending... Ben, loses Everything and has to double... find a way to outsmart Micky and get his life back together...

For me I would rate the movie a 6/10, for I enjoyed the movie but for the technical glitches... and the ever so for the predictability...

Next up... Kung fu panda
