In order to earn the high tuition fees of Harvard Medical School, the top students of MIT are induced by a scheming mathematics professor to use their extraordinary mathematical talents to form a group with their friends to play the youth inspirational drama of the Las Vegas casino. Well, the inspiration here may be more about the tone thrown at the beginning: grades don’t mean anything, only extraordinary life experiences can prove your shine. The plot is very old-fashioned, but the reversal at the end is a plus.

The inadvertent display of human nature in the film is quite intriguing. From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult. In the face of interests, will you be carried away by achievements, will you still stick to the original bottom line, and will you still remember the dreams you once had? If it wasn't for the fall and nothing, would the male protagonist look back for the friendship that was abandoned by him? The basis of feelings is the matching of one's own value. Maybe nothing is eternal, and money is king.

Kevin Spacey's role in this film is a bit overkill, or he used a knife to kill a chicken~

    The theme itself is very attractive and leads to a good car and sheep problem. Unfortunately, the director did not grasp the rhythm of the progress of the plot well. Many playing skills only pay attention to the visual effect, and the result is easy to confuse the audience and feel affected Ignoring and insulting the Life Experience is really important MIT revisited the scene and is optimistic about the future development of Jim Sturgess

    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.

  • [Ben talks about how me could be anyone counting cards]

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] The moment we left campus, the concept of vectors and formulas, were replaced with counting, shuffle tracking. Knowing when to hit and knowing when to color out. I was becoming a pro on all levels. I made more money in one trip to Vegas than I would have in 5 years, 9 months, 12 days and 6 hours at J. Press Menswear. In Boston, I was just Ben Campbell. But in Vegas, I could be anyone I wanted.

    Ben Campbell: [Ben talks to himself in the mirror] You know what I'm gonna do? Huh? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna throw a half-mill down on one hand. Come on, hit me!

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] One night, I'd be the high-rolling heir to a pharmaceutical fortune.

    Ben Campbell: [Ben talks to himself in the mirror] Leon, could you make sure there's some champagne, maybe some strawberries waiting in there for me. I may not be alone.

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] The next, I'd be the hottest video game designer on the west coast.

  • [Ben talks about how counting cards never felt like it would end]

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] In Boston, we had a secret. In Vegas, we had a life. Micky said I was gonna have more fun than I could possibly imagine. And he was right. It was too good to be true. And it felt like it was never going to end.
