"21 shares with the Las Vegas mythos the same stale temptations: empty glitz and little substance. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" | ||||

"Sturgess quietly sparkles as the born loser who struggles to adapt to life on winners' row." | ||||
"A movie with an irresistible premise that ultimately collapses" | ||||
"Repetitive, implausible and overlong." |
