Say, do you like gambling? Then you might like this new movie about those MIT nerds who got pretty good at counting cards. Which really pissed off Vegas. Which led to the book, Bringing Down the House. Which led to the aforementioned movie, 21
Here's the plot, according to Wikipedia:
Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) 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 (Kevin Spacey) leading the way, they’ve cracked 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 by 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 (Laurence Fishburne).
21 is set to be released March 28, 2008.
