Default I liked the movie

Saw it today and thought it was entertaining, which is what a movie like this is supposed to be. It wasn't true to the book, which wasn't true to the real story.

I liked it to non counters i went with also liked it. i think the main people who won't like it are the ones that want the true story or the book story.

I liked it-Sunday night the TV News said it brought in about $24 Million. It was a fun movie!

I also liked it. This story made a great book but only a good movie. I thought it followed the book story pretty close until the end. Not sure if an average movie attender would enjoy it though.

We liked it, a few comments, The hand signals were too obvious. The lead girl was comped a room at the Hard Rock, but the view out the room's window was not from the Hard Rock. The movie made it appear, you could not loose in a good count. We rate this two snaps and a twist.

Plus they don't beat people up in back rooms anymore. Too much liabilty risk (plus it is wrong...and illegal).
But the thing that bothered me the most...smartest boy at MIT doesn't know how to use a bank!?
