That line not only sums up the movie '21,' but also is Kevin Spacey's only memorable delivery in the flick.

Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is about to graduate from MIT. His goal is to get into Harvard Medical School and become a doctor. But that costs money and Ben is tapped. That's when the stars align and Professor Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) discovers Ben's incredible talent in mathematics and bring him on to his "team" of card counting students. Ben's thoughts are on attaining money for school and then being done, but the allure of money, women, and status pushes him on.

In its rawest form that's what the movie is about -- Ben's struggle with where he was planning to go and where he realizes he could go. Spacey's character, who's looking out for his own income, is right there enticing him to push forward. This struggle is where Jim Sturgess' performance fell flat. It seemed that Ben just shrugged his shoulders when his old friends disband and his grades take a fall.

Spacey played Micky as a tame Lex Luthor. I'm not sure if this was because he found himself in scenes with his "Superman Returns" co-star Kate Bosworth or if that's the only way that the character could've been played. I'm a big Kevin Spacey fan, so it was disheartening to see him being menacing without any substance behind it. Micky threatens his team at least a handful of times and the students are scared, but it's never clear why they are scared. The story didn't develop Micky's character into a formidable enough foe.

"21" is based on a true story which was adapted from the book "Bringing Down the House" written by Ben Mezrich. But to avoid any confusion the names of the characters in the movie and book are not the real names of the people who were involved in the real-life "MIT Blackjack Team." While it's possible that the main character's name was a shout out to the author of the book, Ben Mezrich was not involved in the real team -- he just wrote about the group.

Dangling subplots, a lame ending, and Lex Luthor-minus-the-Kryptonite leaves me to recommend saving this one for DVD. This script lacks the strong storyline of a movie like "Rounders." Instead we're left with a sophomoric movie that is eye roll worthy. In other words, it comes off like an arrogant little ... infant.
