Ben Campbell: "How's that for life experience professor? Did I dazzle you? Did I jump off the page?"
A based-on-a-true story of brilliant kids from MIT who used their skills of code talk and hand signals, made hundreds of thousands of dollars in counting cards at casino after casino in Las Vegas. Such intellectual brilliance wasted on a scam which could have been put to better and beneficial use. But gripping nonetheless... a warning to those who aspire for the high-life.
Interestingly, MIT refused permission to be filmed on campus and so it was made on its neighbour's premises: Boston University - one of the 4 university options I chose, but did not pursue, for my Fulbright stint. The trio intellectual institutions (MIT, Harvard and Boston Universities) with the Charles River along and across them is a beautiful inspiring scenery.

8 things I learn from the movie:
1. Try new things in life but don't lose focus along the way.
2. Find ways to apply your knowledge to areas other than the context from which you learned it from, will increase your learning agility.
3. Best-friends WILL always be Best-friends.
4. Brain is the really the attraction factor for women
5. $ will make it easier to attract women
6. The more life experiences you get, the richer you are - so go out and hit the black jack table!
7. Brain + Beauty = $$$$
8. Don't be like your grandma - get the money and bank it in! Don't save $ on the ceiling or under your mattress! What year is this again???
