I had decided to watch Inception the first week of January, but the day before when I was supposed to watch it, I came across 21. I watched the trailer and I thought I liked it, so, in an attempt to put off watching Inception, I watched it.
I did like the few shots in the beginning of the film of the Charles River and Cambridge, MA; but overall, I didn’t like the film much. Maybe this was because I have strong views against gambling, which was one of the main themes of this movie.
The story is about an MIT undergraduate student named Ben Campbell, who needs about $300K to attend Harvard Medical School the next year. His math professor is impressed by his ability to solve complicated equations in his head, and introduces him to a secret club comprised of other MIT students. Reluctant at the beginning, he later joins, to be trained in the skill of card counting. Soon, he is on his way to Vegas every weekend with his new friends, and they make a lot of money, which starts a few problems in the otherwise peaceful life Ben leads.
It was an interesting watch, but I won’t watch it again, because I’m pretty sure there are other movies out there that are more interesting which I haven’t yet watched.
Happy watching, and I’m sorry for posting this so late.
