21 Movie

G-MAN2004 · 11 Apr 2008 at 23:10

Just got back from this, and I think it was great. Really got stuck into the story line and enjoyed it. Makes me so excited to go back to Vegas, shame I'm 4 years to young to do anything.

Premier seats for £7 weren't bad either!

Anyone else seen it?

I was at a preview last week (free seats > £7 seats); Good, enjoyable film. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a decent way to spend two hours.

I read the book, was interesting (Although a very poorly written book in my opinion).

The film adds some stuff not in the book, which is silly - but I wouldn't mind seeing it.

saw it this arvo and thought it were pretty avg tbh.

compared to something like Rounders which is a great gambling flick it just doesn't do it for me.

spacey was decidedly average too, having seen him close up on stage here in london you could tell this was a paycheck for him only.

Saw 21 earlier this week. Pretty entertaining, though it had the standard Hollywood treatment, but that's to be expected I guess.

Thought it was a good film , let hope they make one for the other 2 books he's written . The one about the stock markets would make a great film , heres hoping

I'd disagree, I personally loved the way it was written, it's probably my favourite book, I was totally enthralled by it.

Was a pretty good movie, not excellent, but not bad
