Here come's a clean campus flick but with a difference. The tale is not really one of campus life, but about high stakes in las Vegas. Are you confused , then read on. Jim Sturgess plays a brilliant student at MIT who gets admission into Harvard Medical School, but is finding it difficult to manage to pay the tution fee there.
Thats when one of his professors ( good portrayal by Kevin Spacey) comes in. Seeing the hero to be good with numbers the prof, asks him to join his gang of super brainy students who have a habit of hitting the casino's at Las Vegas during the weekends , using their intelligence to count the cards & winning big time.
Though Jim is reluctant at first, he soon gives in & gets sucked into the labyrinth. Kate Bosworth who is part of the group soon becomes his love interest. At one point of time , the stakes start getting higher & Jim is unable to turn back. Also on their heels is Laurence Fishburne who helps the casino management's to track such sharp heada like them who try to beat the system.
So what happens next? Does Jim get caught & does he go to Harvard?Well all in all a decent movie which is worth a watch and will not make you feel you've wasted your time.
Rating-3/5
