21

So I finally got to see 21 the movie today. First impressions were good seeing as the beginning song was mgmt. At first glance the movie catches your eye, it explores the semi untouched subject of gambling and addiction. Jim Sturgess (Ben) does an awesome job in his second film. i already had a crush on him from across the universe. This movie was pretty awesome, it kept me on the edge of my seat and landed me in the risky world of card counting, and dirty punishment. Basically the story is about Ben, a genius that doesnt have enough money to get into harvard med school. so he joins this underground club at his local college led by a professor (Kevin Spacey) , and learns to count cards. being the brain that ben is it comes easy like childs play. So ben decides to get into this card counting team so he can save up for Harvard med. eventually the plot thickens, a twist of love (loser gets the girl story), he loses everything blah,blah, blah.
point is- this movies badassity level is pretty high
