  • In the latest episode of the FILMS I OWN BUT HAVEN'T WATCHED YET podcast, a special spin-off from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, I dive into another film from my ever-expanding DVD collection. Tonight, it's the card-counting thriller "21." Join me as I watch it for the first time and share my review!


    21 (2008): Directed by Robert Luketic, "21" is a high-stakes thriller inspired by the true story of a group of MIT students who mastered the art of card counting and took Las Vegas casinos for millions. The film stars Jim Sturgess as Ben Campbell, a brilliant but financially struggling student who is recruited by his math professor, Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey), to join a secret blackjack team. Alongside fellow students Jill (Kate Bosworth), Choi (Aaron Yoo), Kianna (Liza Lapira), and Fisher (Jacob Pitts), Ben learns to count cards and outsmart the casinos. However, as their success grows, so do the risks, leading to a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with casino enforcer Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne). "21" combines tension, excitement, and moral dilemmas, offering a gripping look at how intelligence and greed collide in the world of gambling.
