21 (also referred to in advertising as "21: The Movie") is a 2008 drama film from Columbia Pictures. It stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, and Laurence Fishburne. The film is based loosely around the story of a 1990s incarnation of the MIT Blackjack Team.
Plot
Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is an MIT student who – needing to pay school tuition – finds answers in counting cards. In his non-linear equations class, he amazes his professor, Mickey Rosa, by correctly understanding variable change and correctly solving the Monty Hall Problem. As a superior math and statistics student, he is recruited to join a group of mathematically-gifted students that heads to Las Vegas every weekend with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. Unorthodox math professor Mickey Rosa (Kevin Spacey) leads the way. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signs and signals, the team can beat the casinos. Drawn by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and his 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).
Cast
* Jim Sturgess as Ben Campbell, the protagonist, an MIT student incredibly good with numbers but in need of money, who becomes a member of the blackjack team. Based on Jeff Ma.[1]
* Kevin Spacey as Mickey Rosa, math professor and the founder of the blackjack team. Based on a composite of J.P. Massar and Johnny Chang[2]
* Kate Bosworth as Jill Taylor, a member of the blackjack team. Based on Jane Willis.
* Laurence Fishburne as Cole William, a casino security agent who becomes determined to take down the team. Based on employees of Griffin Investigations[3]
* Aaron Yoo as Choi, a member of the blackjack team.
* Liza Lapira as Kianna, another blackjack team member
* Josh Gad as Miles Connoly
* Jacob Pitts as Fisher, another blackjack team member. Based on Mike Aponte
* Jack McGee as Terry
* Roger Dillingham, Jr. as Head Bouncer
Factual inaccuracies
* Many details related to the nature of profitable team blackjack play were simplified or incorrect. Among these: Spotters would not keep playing once the Big Player arrives - doing so wastes the good cards. The Big Player wouldn't need somebody else to tell him when "the deck has gone cold"; the count tells him that. A spotter who only makes table-minimum bets wouldn't get comped to a suite. Skilled players can have losing streaks even when playing well and according to a system.
* Even high-stakes card counters get peacefully asked to leave rather than beaten in a back room when casino security first approaches them. Since counting cards is legal, players who are beaten up or robbed have recourse to seek legal redress so in reality Laurence Fishbourne's character would quite likely have been arrested and/or sued for his actions.
* Many details related to casino game protection mechanisms were simplified or incorrect. "Biometric software" seems to have stood in for a wide array of new technologies that are changing the nature of game protection but there is still the need for human evaluation of play at the tables.
Differences between the movie and the real life story
Although the movie is loosely based on a book which is loosely based on the real-life exploits of the MIT Team, little effort was made to be historically accurate. The film adds many plot points for dramatic affect, chararacters are based on composites and boring real-world details are simplified. Many casino locations shown in the film (including the Hard Rock Casino, the Bellagio fountains, and the Wynn) did not exist during the time portrayed, and no MIT professor was ever on the team.
My Opinion
The Movie was great, ive seen the History channel Doc, On the real life guys which i found was cool to
so check that out if you liked this movie. O and i ran the CAM threw Enhance Movie 2.2 again so it would
