Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4467934, member: 1414"] [B]21. [/B]This is the movie based on the book [I]Bringing Down the House[/I] by Ben Mezrich. It’s based on a true story of the MIT blackjack team that counted cards and made a lot of money. The book is better. Stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Lawrence Fishburne and Kate Bosworth. It simplifies the story somewhat. Card counting, with a sophisticated system to avoid detection. The real story had several big players, including an Asian kid who could better pretend to be a wealthy foreigner who gets lucky. Bosworth is cute and the whole thing is a lot of fun. Nobody plays a creepy A - hole quite like Kevin Spacey. Lots of fun here. Read the book first, but the movie is good too. [/QUOTE]
