Movie Review: 21

21 is a good movie that is loosely based on the book Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich. Kevin Spacey does a normally good interpretation of his character, a mathematics professor at MIT who happens to also be one of the top blackjack players in the world, who despite retirement leads a team of card counting students to Vegas. Lawrence Fishburne does an outstanding job as the hotel security agent that brings down the team. Unfortunately for me the team wasn't believable, nor any of the other students featured in the film, but it is worth seeing just to compare with the specials that come on either the History or Discovery Channels (or some channel like that) every so often.
