I don't know if there was a topic on this already even though I think there was, I could care less.
Bad ass movie. I loved it. |

Really?
I honestly don't know how a movie about blackjack could be anything but crap. Maybe I need to see this... |

I heard it was a lot about the card-counting, and basically how it all works. Sounds really interesting to me, I'd probably dig it.

Why would it suck? Rounders was about poker, and that was a great movie. |

It seems OK.
The true story of it is really cool. |

Did anybody read the book? I was thinking about picking it up on Amazon the other day, but I didn't order yet.

Wow, I hadn't heard about this movie. The trailer does look good. And it's based on a true story too. I like to see Jason Statham in decent roles. He seems talented, but he's in some awful, awful movies, like Crank. |

This sounds like the makings of "The book was far better than the movie" type deal. |

Seriously good movie. Flopped at the box office but it was well done. Probably one of the best examples of Hollywood portraying something with reasonable accuracy. |

I watched 21 a couple of days ago. Not bad at all. Its not very accurate, but it is close enough.

I enjoyed it. I went into the movie with a basic background of the story and I think that made it more interesting.

Same. I don't know if someone who has never read about the MIT Blackjack team or counting cards would enjoy the movie as much. |

Truth, how card counting came about is pretty impressive, along with things like this story. Back before vegas became a disneyland version of itself. |
