Review for "21"

The movie "21" was a great movie. It gave us a look at one of the most amazing arts in the known world. You have people that can paint million dollar murals, people that can create award-winning symphonies, and then you have card counting. Card counting is one of those tricks you can't foil. This movie explains how it is used, and how well it can actually work. Another thing they show you, is how bad the consequences can be. Personally, I don't like Lawrence Fishburne, but he seemed to fit this role quite well... he played the role of security at a casino. His character is a bit edgy, and a bit of a cheapskate, but definetely a crucial part in the movie. Jim Sturgess plays a kid living in a family that's not so very wealthy, but he's a genius attending MIT and is trying to obtain a special scholarship that'll pay for his entire tuition at Harvard Medical School. His character is a guy that has a strong head on his shoulders and can usually think for himself.

Overall, I'd give this movie a 9.9 out of 10. I take off that .1 because I'm not crazy about Lawrence Fishbourne, especially when he plays the bad guy. :p
