21

Have you watched 21 yet?It's a Robert Luketic movie,starring Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth etc.(I only note this 2 because i think Jim is cool in the tux...and Kate is quite pretty...although she looks a lil old and too skinny)

Well for me, the movie is fantastic. Plot of the story are as follow:
Ben Campbell(Jim Sturgess), a MIT student, was accepted into Harvard Medical school but he was unable to pay for the total expenses in Harvard Med,a sum of $300,000. He was interviewed for the Robinson Scholarship, which will pay everything for him, but they only gave out to 1 scholar each year. Ben is urged to write an essay which will make him stand out.

During an advanced math class, professor Micky Rosa discovers Campbell,as an amazing brat with amazing brain plus memory. Rosa invited Campbell to join his BJ team (note it's not blowjob...it's BLACKJACK) led by Rosa, which consists of 4 other students Choi,Fisher,Jill and Kianna(the reason he join hor...it's actually because of the girl la i think). The system involves card counting, and the team is split into two groups: The "spotters", who play the minimum bet, keeping track of the count, and sending secret signals; and the "big players", who place large bets whenever the count at a table is favorable. Due to his amazing memory and ability to still remember under great pressure, Ben was assigned as the big players.

Rosa takes the team to Las Vegas where Campbell begins to realize the joys of a new lifestyle. And then a lot of conflict and joy happens.(Fisher got kicked out of the group, and then Ben got laid...that's the joy of new lifestyle i think) after that then a lot of conflict sommo la...tell u then u no need to watch liao...so better don't tell)

The movie closes with Campbell recounting the tale to the professor in Harvard Med, who looks back at him, "dazzled".(that guy look so funny when he's dazzled)

It's quite a nice movie... i give a rating of 5 out of 5 (personal opinion). Don't blame me if it's not nice for you...I accept no liability of any kind of losses or damages caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly from the use of information contained herein.
