Working-class whiz kid (Sturgess) who’s wondering how he’s going to pay his way through M.I.T. is recruited by professor Spacey to join his elite team: a small group of supersmart students who’ve learned how to count cards and beat the blackjack tables in Las Vegas. Entertaining wish-fulfillment yarn, taken from a true story, starts to deflate toward the climax when—inevitably—Sturgess goes riding for a fall. Based on Ben Mezrich’s book Bringing Down the House. HD Widescreen.
