Review of 21 (2008) by Jackie — 30 Mar 2008

Overall I definitely enjoyed the movie. I have never played blackjack in my life, but I found myself interested in the game while watching the film. Ive head complaints about character development and complaints about how the students are supposed to be smart and not make stupid decision.

BUT--this is a game theyve never played before until they got swept up in the money--they may have brians but that doesnt mean they're not gonna be naive--they dont have the life experience. I wasnt concerned about the lack of character deveopment because I thought they set a good enough stage for Ben (sturgess).

I thought it was kind of obvious what each character's personality was like--to have to spell it out would have been tedious.
