Film School Rejects: 21 Movie Review

    Hollywood will always take it's liberties to sell more if possible. Sometimes its' a hit, sometimes it's a miss. Sound in space, random explosions, ...bad guy bullets, it's Hollywood. As far as this movie goes, you have a really valid point about acting conspicuous at the table. If they think you're counting, you're outta there, because even though it's not illegal, they "reserve the right". Still though it's Hollywood. Real card counting isn't as flashy as all that. It's pretty subtle and you have to remember to keep your emotions in check. All the same you're working with the same information everyone at the table is getting, so it's far from cheating. 2 of the original MIT team opened www.blackjackinstitute.com to learn the real card counting techniques. I would suggest learning the real deal there and not from a movie. Even if it IS a good story :)

    I liked the strip club scene. I mean, the guy is kissing his almost-girlfriend while checkin out hot strippers. I mean, he is the ultimate player right there. My only problem with the movie was that one of the strippers have a fat butt with a tattoo on it, and it was in a thong. ==={EWW }== For the only explicit part of the movie, they could have done much better.
