Default 21 - the movie

I went to see it tonight and would give it a solid B.

It's based on a true story about MIT students who used their smarts to beat Vegas at blackjack.

Worth seeing IMO.

I always wonder how much of a "true story" really is true.

G&P, the book is excellent, but I've heard that they took a few liberties with the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but I'll get it on Netflix when it comes out.

When I was reading the book, I told my wife what a great movie it could be. I wish they would have stayed truer to the story.

I read the book and basically I know soneone who knows soomeone who was in the book and what he told me about waht was going on before the book came out. From what he said the book was pretty accurate.

I did hear a lot was changed in the movie. The main character is Asian is real life, but is white in the movie.
