Written by Peter Steinfeld, Allan LoebDirected by Robert LuketicRunning Time: 150 minutes (approx)Production Year: 2008Rating: 12 CertificateProduction Country: USAFilmed in ColourBen Campbell (rising British actor Jim Sturgess) has always been a whizz with numbers. He's top of his maths class at MIT, but there's one calculation he can't figure out. How to square his $8 per hour job with tuition fees of $300,000? Slippery statistics professor Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) plucks him out of class to join an elite crew of card counters - mathematical geniuses who beat the Las Vegas casinos at their own game. Ben knows numbers, but he's still a kid. On the tables, his eyes are drawn to Jill (Kate Bosworth). Away from the cards, he doesn't know when to hold and when to fold. Security chief Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne) is monitoring the team, but Ben's biggest threat may be Micky himself. Like the square root of Good Will Hunting and Rain Man, this is a glitzy thriller based on the true story of MIT whizz kids taking on the house and winning. When is 21 next on TV?
