This is a fact based movie about 6 kids from MIT that learned to card count and they took Vegas for a lot of money. It stars Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) as MIT professor Mickey Rosa, who had some knowledge of card counting as well as some experience that trains Jim Sturgess (50 Dead Men Walking) as Ben, Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) as Jill, Aaron Yoo (Friday The 13Th) as Choi, Liza Lapira (Fast & Furious) as Kianna, Jacob Pitts (Eurotrip) as Fisher, and Josh Gad (The Rocker) as Miles. Together, they run it very smoothly with signals, certain body language, and their brains to take millions from Planet Hollywood. Ben learns a lot about himself in this movie especially after he gets the girl of his dreams and then his teacher screws him. He soon loses everything, but he has a plan to get it back. He just has to be aware of Laurence Fishburn (Boyz In The Hood) who plays the security man at Planet Hollywood named Cole Williams because of some friendly back stabbing advice from someone he was onto Ben's game. This is a great movie to watch because I love true stories. It's the thrill of knowing something like this really took place. I give the movie an A- because even though we've seen plenty of gambling movies, this one is right at the top of the list.
