21

Fairly good. Smart kids are recruited by MIT Mathematics instructor to count cards and make bundles of money at Las Vegas. Protagonist, a quasi-nerd who is working on a robotic car with his two nerd buddies, is so smart the instructor recruits him to be the lead card player in the scheme.

Las Vegas, MIT and Harvard are featured, glamorized, and used as props in this quest for an easy way out. In the way of the team stands an anachronism, a human being who monitors card players and their wonts, habits and patterns to detect cheating and card counting.

Decent-enough Friday night fare.
