21

I was given 2 free tickets for '21''s special screening at TGV Sunway yesterday. You probably know me, nothing goes to waste especially when it's free, why waste the chance? So, I went with my boyfriend...

We drove all the way down to Sunway, happily had dinner there, happily when into the cinema.... And it's like....empty??!!

So, we were like:
- Probably because it's free... (you think so easy to get free tickets ar??.....not many lucky people like me ok?)
- Maybe it's still early... (The show only starts at 9pm what.. Now it's like 8:30pm only)
- Or the movie sucks.... so no one want to watch.....

So, we waited..... Hoping that we could actually occupy the whole cinema... hehe...... But maybe we've put in too much hope....so we were dissapointed at the end.... sigh...

Ok, let's talk about the show...

"21" is the fact-based story about six MIT students who were trained to become experts in card counting and subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings. The show is about 2 hours length and it is directed by Australian director Robert Luketic and stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne, and Asron Yoo.

Well, I personally think that the show is ok only lo.... 3 out of 5 stars...

Why?

I think it's because of the length.... A drama film without much drama in it looks a little dry in terms of its content.... especially when it's so long.....

The show is like this:

It spends about 75% telling how Ben Campbell were being invited to join the Blackjack Team, were being trained, were being brought to Las Vegas ..... blah di blah di blah..... And the other 25% telling us how he won a fortune twice and end up losing both times....

I mean of course I would want to know how much are you winning at the casino, how good are you in counting cards and all that in the film.... but please don't make it too long winded la.... I feel old in the cinema ok....??

Anyway, the above were only my own expressions/ opinions for the film and I mean no offense here.....(finger cross...hehe...)
