Winner Winner Chicken Dinner- 21 or Bust. It's all about the beloved game of blackjack. How to beat the system. Is it possible? In this movie the main character Ben Campbell sets out along with a few others from MIT in an exciting adventure to make a lot of money in a small amount of time using simple math. Ben however, is not in it just to get rich, he plans on using the money he makes to pay for Harvard Medical School which costs roughly $300,000. Counting cards, it's not illegal but it can get you into trouble as this group of geniuses, led by math professor Micky Rosa, soon find out. This movie is a thriller with lots of action and mystery. The characters seem to never fail in the creativity and disguises used throughout the movie.
Sounds neat right, well as some may not know this movie- 21 was originally a book. I myself have not read this book yet but would like to as I've heard only great reviews about it. Finding out after seeing the movie that it was not only a book but was based on a true story, all I can think is wow, these people must be geniuses. But really it's just simple math though I could never do half of the things they do.
This movie is full of adventure and lots of thrills adding to the overall excitement. The plot was especially good never ceasing to add to the mystery of the entire movie. It kept
me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie thinking and wondering what would happen next only to be proven wrong in the next scene.
Overall I thought this movie was awesome. Some may disagree with me which will always happen but to me this movie was totally worth the $8 to see in theaters. It had good acting, a good plot, and most of all kept you interest throughout the entire movie. It's a great movie and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new movie to check out. Though be warned it can be kind of confusing to follow when they explain how to count cards, but really it's just simple math, plus one, minus one. It's not too hard to follow just try and understand the overall plot and hopefully you'll find it as enjoyable as I did
