So-so movie, somewhat entertaining. Passed the time. Storyline seemed like it could have been deeper. Not much character developement.

I liked all the strategizing that went on with the characters in this movie. It played out well IMO & never got too unrealistic. Everything seemed plausable to me. Very good.

This is an interesting movie about how a poor college geek, is drawn into the fast life of gambling. The plot moves well, and there's a good mix of some humor & gripping excitement. I felt it did a good job of showing how the glitzy glamorous life in Vegas can draw an ordinary person into its jaws, and have a negative impact on ones life.

The best thing about "21" is that you don't have to know how to play blackjack to understand and enjoy it. It's a pretty good movie despite some slight defects, but on average it works like a charm. It's hard to imagine that this was actually based on truth, but the story is entertaining, thrilling, humorous, and affective all at the same time. However, the film starts off a little too fast, and almost bizarrely random in Ben's decision to join the team, but winds down before it gets too out of hand. Of course, there is your share of double-crossing in this movie as well, and "21" does a fine job of adding an exciting plot and character development to the mix. The acting is very good. Each character is wonderfully depicted and you can really get a sense of what each one is thinking. Also, the film captures the image and wonder of Vegas casinos. The glitzy backdrop and high life action add to the thrill of this picture. Kevin Spacey played a strong character, despite getting in over his head with his card shark antics. Oh, and this review wouldn't be complete without mentioning Lawrence Fishburne for his role as the cheated security guard. He played his role slick and savvy. Overall," 21" is a worthwhile movie to see and has a surprisingly good ending. Go see it now.

It was okay. I had plenty of slow moments and the ending was your typical Hollywood happy ending. Kate Bosworth was boring to watch, just like she was in Superman Returns.

No good. Avoid watching this film. The story is too predictable to have fun. The ending... unnatural characters' intensive face kills all the fun as well.

Horrible movie. Unclever, predictable and weak. Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburn can't save this movie. It's a childish script that serves no purpose to challenge the audience or maintain any integrity to the true story behind the MIT blackjack team. Self serving and pathetic.

Good movie if you like to play blackjack. The acting is ok and there is enough there to get you mildly entertained. Some parts and especially the ending are probably 'over the top Hollywood dazzling'.

It was an interesting movie, well played and well shot. It kept us wondering what would happen. And the fact that this did actually happen, makes it more interesting. Definitely worth seeing.

I liked it. Worth watching, border-line rental though if it wasn't for the Las Vegas city shots. I got what I expected, a brief view of the world of card counting. Now a thing of the past due to multiple decks being used, but it would have been a rush back in the day.

Excellent plot development and character portrayal. You can really see how easy-money can drive a man mad. Although I would have preferred a tragic ending.

Amazing.., the only problem I had was sometimes the movie seemed kind of like you were there, and not watching the movie, I know that sounds good, but I hate that.

Like drama? Like Action? Like suspense? How about Spacey, Bosworth or Fishburne? Or maybe Vegas? Good movie, well acted and has a little bit of a lot of different genres?

I'd pay money to watch 21 over and over again until its out of theaters. And when it's on DVD I'd buy it too. That is how GREAT 21 is. Love, love, LOVE it. Perfect actors for this. Main character super cute!

A really awesome movie. And I loved how it was inspired by a true story. I think that actually makes it more real, because it was somehow real for someone else in reality. And having a cute guy in it sure makes it really good too.

This movie is based on the book busting Las Vegas. In that book it is explained how group of students managed to find the way to beat casino playing by their casino rules (not cheating) They were not card counters and it was very interesting to read that book. Film has nothing to do with the book. It gives you no clue how they did it or at least some idea what was really happening there. This is typical Holywood crap full of misleading information. Waste of time and money.

21 is a good movie, and is worth seeing. It certainly ranks up there with other card shark movies like the excellent Rounders. The cast is very good, and the story is certainly very interesting. Although you have a feeling how certain things will turn out, it still manages to entertain you. However, it does drag on in parts. I think that's the challenge with any 2-hour movie... to avoid the slower parts that lull you. Kevin Spacey does a great job as the professor, and Laurence Fishburne is excellent as one of the last "human" eyes in the sky. The rest of the cast is also good. So it's a good movie, especially if you like card and gambling movies. AND if you want to see another movie with a very similar storyline, rent "The Last Casino" and you will not regret it. In many ways, although much smaller budget and with lesser known actors, The Last Casino is much better!
