Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent student at M.I.T. who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 tuition as he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor to a small but secretive club of five students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Fisher, who are being trained by Professor Rosa to count cards at blackjack.

This movie holds a special place in my heart. The vibes, the soundtrack, the plot. It all really works for me in a way that clearly doesn't work for the public. We have gotten more gambling movies since this one, but this remains my favorite. Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend

However, the movie is still entertaining and engaging, and it's sure to appeal to fans of heist films and gambling thrillers.
