Not bad, but could have been GREAT!
I read numerous books on this exact topic, so I was extremely excited for the movie to come out. I was a bit disappointed to see the story focus much more on the characters than on the whole card counting method. The early part of the movie, where the main character learns to count cards is true to form, but a lot of other things are out of nowhere and have no factual basis. This movie never says it represents the actual story, so they were able to deviate from the true story quite a bit. Overall the movie was good, but if included a bit more of the facts, and showed a bit more of the methods used to count the cards, it would have been great for people, like myself, who followed the real story closely.
