Have you even heard of this movie? Kevin Spacey, Jim Sturgess, Kate Boswell, and a whole slew of others you may or may not have heard of that remind you of existing actors/actresses play MIT students/faculty that develop a card counting system for taking the Vegas blackjack tables to the cleaners.
This was actually a pretty good movie overall. There were little quirks here and there where I felt the dialog was a little contrived and the movie overall had the feeling of some movies that have been done many times before but I found myself fully entertained for the duration. Only a semi-nude scene of Kate from the back and side but it was a PG-13 movie so I'm not sure what I was hoping for :P (yeah, I know... I know).
Man, Kevin Spacey can really put out a child molester vibe can't he?
Definitely worth a watch. It's not at the theater anymore but it should still be a new release at most video rental venues (including RedBox).
I'd like to hear what others think of the system they use and whether or not it is theoretically sound :)

My GF absolutely loves this movie. I liked it. Had some good sequences.

Actually, I'm glad you reviewed it favorably. I was under the impression from a few people that it was crappy, so I avoided it. So now I'm looking forward to the TiVo absorbing it.

I rented it the other night and really was pretty happy with it. I also was upset about the kate scene but again it was PG-13 lol. Overall pretty good movie, I think the biggest disappointment is I thought it was pretty predictable but still entertaining :)
