The film is based on the true story which happens on a MIT student who want go for further study in Harvard Medicine School. He is smart, absolutely. When he nearly, something he probably would never think happened.
He went to an graduated interview of Harvard and wanted to get the 30,000 scholarship for his postgraduate study. The professor of the interview told him the scholarship only offer to the student who jumps off the bed. It's really true because Harvard is full of intelligent students around the world. He does need a good reason to apply for the scholarship.
In his normal life, he was just study between working. He even didn't have a girlfriend when he was 21. His best said they were suck because expect study they really had nothing. Then the story changed dramatically. He met a professor who used to be a big player. The professor wanted to use him as a money machine. He underwent a very strange practice to make sure he could win money when he “counts” the cards.
At first he just wanna get the money for his study, but he did too much after feeling everything could become very easy in Vegas.
He though too much of it and even rude to the professor who took them to Vegas. He got a hard lesson of it. The boss of the casino asked him to take the professor then he could get all his money back.
During that time he made his best friends down. His best friends were still allegiant to their study and got the award. He lost himself so much~~~
As the pledge he took the professor back to Las Vegas, but the boss did give him back the money he won as the promise.
Finally he realized something goes wrong, it's not the real him. He came back to school and did well.
He went to the interview again and told the interviewee. The professor can't believe the experience he had. I think he got the award at last.
What is our life? We need do something adventured to make ourselves distinguished, but don't go too far.
Always account for valuable change.

    The protagonist is very smart. In the face of money, he still becomes a chaser, but the process is different from ordinary people, more exciting, faster, and more naked. Even at the end of the villain getting the punishment he deserves, I still don't think Ben escaped and returned to his true nature. He was still unwilling and yearning, and just accepted the reality. The clipping of the casino scene is too rough, the emotional drama is lackluster, and the characters are not three-dimensional and full. Therefore, in general, the film is too impetuous, not thought-provoking, just watchable.

    It's ok because I like this school on the MIT side, I admire the people who have high technical content, I'm disappointed, one or two main characters, a few very bad supporting roles, a harlequin, and a professor from the International Friends and Love Alliance. . . . . . Or watch "Ten N Arhats", but it's more enjoyable
