Story Line: Kevin Spacey as an MIT professor leads a team of bright students (Jim Sturgess as the leading actor and Kate Bosworth as his team member) counting cards and making money on blackjack tables in Las Vegas with Laurence Fishburne hot on their trail.

What's good: Cinematography was good. Kate Bosworth was very attractive, and definitely adds much needed flavor to this movie.

What's bad: Other than the above mentioned good points, it's hard to mention any other good points. The stand-out weakness of this movie is its lack of story development and climax. I feel a monotone from the beginning to the end.

Bottom line: The movie had little to offer. It's not a bad movie but just mediocre.
