Movie review: Don’t be taken by ‘21’ "21” is a sluggish adaptation of a book by Ben Mezrich that chronicles the real-life story of six M.I.T. students who took Las Vegas for millions of dollars, as a team of card-counting Blackjack players. Directed by Robert Luketic and written by Peter Steinfeld and Allan Loeb this oversimplified rendering leaves out much of the exposition addressed in the popular book. |
