- Synopsis
- "21," based on Ben Mezrich's best-selling nonfiction book "Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions", revolves around a group of young men who become experts in the art of card counting. Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant MIT 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 crack 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 his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth), 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.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"21 is built around some standard-issue plot mechanics, but it's still a clever and novel card-sharp thriller."
-
"It's disposable, watchable and forgettable filmmaking"
-
"21 is a mini-Ocean's Eleven about, and for, people who are the age of its title."
-
"Repetitive, implausible and overlong."
