How To Disappear Completely

21

By waiting around for the cheap seats, I finally got the chance to see 21, the film about MIT geniuses who try to take Las Vegas for a cool seven figures: a victory of brain against bouncers.

I was expecting this film to be along the lines of Ocean's 11, but instead I saw a somewhat disjointed battle between Mind and Body, complete with a moral message about not forgetting who your true friends are. Only limited success awaited these card counters, as apparently we aren't supposed to believe that anyone can truly get away with beating the house.

I suppose it is a comment on my own condition to note that successful cleverness interests me more than cleverness that has learned its lesson.
