Nov 19 2007'21' Trailer Reveals Las Vegas is Really Crazy
With the upcoming What Happens in Vegas..., the Friends episode where they all go to Vegas, the TV show Las Vegas, the commercials touting that events happening in Vegas don't count towards your regular morality, and countless other glamorous depictions of the "Sin City," I'm getting a bit bored with the concept of "Woo! Look at all the crazy shit that happens in Vegas!"
21, the semi-true story of MIT students counting cards and making millions under the tutelage of a professor, looks to add little to the genre, and even leaves out the requisite shotgun wedding, seating it one crucial element below The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. I think they'd have been better off sticking closer to the real-life story instead of a film school student's vision of Good Will Hunting-meets-Ocean's Thirteen.
Trailer below the cut.

I saw a very interesting documentary on these guys on the History Channel -- can't imagine what the movie might add.
I say skip it -- watch the documentary.

Didn't they already make almost this exact movie a few years ago? And wasn't it called The Last Casino?
