21 - Theater (Phoenix)

AndyO review: **

I really wanted to like this film (it's a good idea about MIT students going to Vegas with their professor to count cards and win big bucks), but there were many problems:

  • The lead actor was unable to carry the film
  • The lead actor couldn't do an accurate Boston accent
  • No chemistry between the lead actor and the female lead
  • Too many cliches, poor screenwriting
  • Melodrama (black and white scenes -- no nuance)
  • Kevin Spacey isn't enough to save a bad script
