Well made. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 21, 2021

An entertaining film that... as simple as it is passionate. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2020

Kate Bosworth, who's made three films with Spacey now, seems to fare the worst here.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

Full of flash and style that makes it one of the more entertaining Vegas films in recent memory.

| Original Score: B | Oct 29, 2019

A scenario utterly Hollywoodised to death, with barely a movie cliché left untapped by the director and screenwriters.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 4, 2019

Can't decide whether it's high stakes or high school.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2018

Despite being "based on a true story," the script is a loaded deck that plays like a pack of lies. 21 just doesn't add up.

| Nov 30, 2017

Craps out leaving you wondering how it all went so wrong.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 24, 2012

Luketic's dunderheaded, would-be caper is a morality tale where the only moral at stake is the dullard-hero's thoughtless entitlement

| Aug 27, 2009

It's a slick enough movie, with an intriguing enough concept. It would be a much more enjoyable movie, however, if the wheels didn't come off script-wise.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 24, 2009

One can't help but think there was a smarter film to be made from this premise.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 29, 2009

As ever with gambling films, it's difficult to convey the thrill of winning at second hand; the human-interest complications are unconvincing and Spacey himself, I'm afraid, is a lugubrious and deadening presence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

If only director Robert Luketic and screenwriters Peter Steinfeld and Allan Loeb had not opted for glitz. As filmmakers, they're playing for very low stakes.

| Original Score: C | Oct 18, 2008

Spacey makes a nicely chilly villain and Bosworth a warm and glamorous leading lady, if an implausible maths genius.

| Oct 18, 2008

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 18, 2008

Disappointing thriller that's let down by a tedious script, a frankly ridiculous final act and some dodgy overacting by Kevin Spacey.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

This is a prime example of a movie that isn't bad, per se, just unnecessary, a competently made but wholly unremarkable trifle.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 18, 2008

| Original Score: B- | Oct 18, 2008

See this for the sheer fascination of it.

| Oct 18, 2008

Regardless whether there are a number of clichés and plot incongruities, this entertaining and fast-paced flick will find an audience hoping to learn how to beat the dealer.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2008
