Review of 21 (2008)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 03 Aug 2011

What a big cheat of a movie…

Review of 21 (2008)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 10 May 2011

Escapist moviegoers happy to live out a flashy fantasy get a brief comeuppance and still walk away from the table with a little something in…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Robert Wilonsky (520) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Aug 2010

A movie that wastes a lot of time and money and really, REALLY shoulda stayed in Vegas…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Matthew Pejkovic (770) for Matt's Movie Reviews (913) on 06 Jul 2010

Too bland, too bright and too long, 21 may talk a big game but it is mainly insipid entertainment…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for CinePassion (694) on 26 Aug 2009

Luketic's dunderheaded, would-be caper is a morality tale where the only moral at stake is the dullard-hero's thoughtless entitlement…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 26 Jun 2009

Spacey, whose Trigger Street Productions is one of the film's producers, digs into his role as the story's snarky mastermind and lure, yet…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Michael Dequina (1,684) for TheMovieReport.com (1,582) on 29 Mar 2009

One can't help but think there was a smarter film to be made from this premise…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Tony Macklin (521) for Fayetteville Free Weekly (88) on 02 Feb 2009

When the movie 21 was announced with Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne, it sounded like a winner…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 11 Jan 2009

Except for Spacey's talent, elements don't add up…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 17 Oct 2008

As ever with gambling films, it's difficult to convey the thrill of winning at second hand; the human-interest complications are unconvincing…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Mike Goodridge (67) for Screen International (2,241) on 17 Oct 2008

Spacey makes a nicely chilly villain and Bosworth a warm and glamorous leading lady, if an implausible maths genius…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 17 Oct 2008

This is a prime example of a movie that isn't bad, per se, just unnecessary, a competently made but wholly unremarkable trifle…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Jean Lowerison (512) for San Diego Metropolitan (486) on 17 Oct 2008

See this for the sheer fascination of it…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Kevin Crust (344) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 02 Oct 2008

What might have been a complex story dealing with greed and high-stakes betrayal among the young intellectual elite in America's gaming playground…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Kit Bowen (393) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 30 Sep 2008

Even though you can predict what happens, 21 is still fairly compelling for a movie about counting cards at a blackjack table…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Jeff Bayer (445) for The Scorecard Review (437) on 26 Aug 2008

It has some decent eye candy, but overall this film is bluffing if they think it's a great, intelligent blackjack film…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Christopher Smith (624) for Bangor Daily News (Maine) (624) on 08 Aug 2008

Everyone involved should have known when to fold 'em. The movie is about as interesting as counting cards…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Jul 2008

Short of counting the cards out loud, these geniuses seem to do everything they can to get caught…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Tim Basham (27) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 20 Jul 2008

Much like in Vegas, whatever happened in the book and made it so marvelous stayed in the book…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Bruce Bennett (577) for Spectrum (St. George, Utah) (575) on 18 Jul 2008

It may take a rocket scientist to successfully count cards, but not to wite a smarter script than what 21 delivers…
