“21″ Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
May 5, 2008
There are two types of engineers in this World. The first are ordinary joes, these are the ones who do it just to push the envelope, also know as “gaining a high”. The second is Ben Campbell (played by Jim Sturgess), who sets the benchmarks.
The concept of get it at any costs, excites me a lot. Ben is shown as a university dork who spends his time making a life for himself, with the dream of getting into Harvard. The movie is highly fictionalized to Hollywood’s celluloid standards, but it is inspired by the MIT black jack team
The movie kept me hanging on the edge of my seat, it was a fun watch and it flowed like melting butter. It was filled with suspense, a solid plot line, funny scenes, and a stellar ending. The climax of the film was awesome! Take a gamble and see this movie.
