Review of 21 (2008) by Ethan L — 30 Jul 2012
Tries to hard to be a fast-paced action-packed thriller that is also intelligent. While the subject matter is truly intriguing, this adaptation of Ben Mezrich's bestseller shows lack of passion and vision from the director.
Based on a true story, it might've been a perfect presentation of a group of geniuses, who wanted to bring down Las Vegas. The students look actually more like party-going raunchy teens, than MIT prodigies.
21 is rather a slow and unsteady drama than a thrilling, mind-numbing, mathematically-adequate heist movie.
