Inspired by the true story of MIT students who mastered the art of card counting and took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings. Looking for a way to pay for tuition, Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) finds himself quietly recruited by MIT's most gifted students in a daring plot to break Vegas. With the help of a brilliant statistics professor (Kevin Spacey) and armed with fake IDs, intelligence and a complicated system of counting cards, Ben and his friends succeed in breaking the impenetrable casinos. Now, his challenge is keeping the numbers straight and staying one step ahead of the casinos before it all spirals out of control.

CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN
21 craps out with many of the nation's critics. "A feature-length bore about some smarty-pants who take Vegas for a ride" is how Manohla Dargis describes it in the New York Times. Claudia Puig in USA Today sums up: "21 does not offer audiences a winning hand." Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune remarks, "While you may stick with the film--it's a slick time-waster--you never believe it. It feels hoked-up and pumped-up and phony." And Rick Groen in the Toronto Globe and Mail calls it "a big cheat of a movie."

ease up, blind...would YOU pay a lawyer $150.00 an hour if you could understand him?

You people at CinemaNow seem to be dishonest. You intentionally hide other people's comments on movies in the review section. You have 48 hours to correct your intentional concealment of the comments on the reviews from the public. As a law student specializing in consumer protection, I have an obligation to let the public know about your bad conduct. Your concealment may be considered as "FRAUD" because you hide the feedback so viewers will rent or buy the movies even if they got bad comments. The fact that viewers would NOT buy or rent a movie because of a bad comment was left makes the comments "MATERIAL", which gives you a duty to disclose them. I will NOT be surprised if you are having your staff even submit phony ratings. You've been placed on Notice. Please act accordingly. You have 48 Hours.
