A movie about a college student that strive to pay his tuition by becoming a bookie in his campus. Well luck is not always on his side, and somehow he got caught by the dean and was notified if he continued his gambling attitude he will be discharged from Princeton. Yes, Richie was a princeton student and loved gambling very much, maybe it comes from his gambler father.
He lost his saving in gambling, and the option comes up by coming to Ivan Block the owner of Midnight Black Gambling Site where he becomes the affiliates. Ivan is in Costarica, so he fly there to met Ivan.The story continues, where Richie become one of Ivan's staffs and bring 2 of his friends. They were expanding the gambling business, across all nations just through the internet. The revenue was unbelievable tempting, and there were party and beautiful girls everywhere. So the three of them stays in Costarica for quite a while expanding Ivan's business.
Problems occur when the FBI confront them tries to made them spies of Ivan. In the other hand, Ms. Shafran who turns out one of the initiator and also ex-girlfriend of Ivan also involve in the romance department with Richie. Everything heats up, lots of shooting, lots of killing, but not really a vivid scene, so it's not too painful to the eyes.
Well, this is a happy ending movie. To overcome problems you just have to move first and really know the right time to strike. I guess that's the message of the movie. It's just too bad, Ben Affleck not really showing the expected character or emotions of Ivan Block, it felt like there's something missing here and there. The thrill for Richie comes more from other thing rather than Ivan Block. But this is quite an entertaining movie, maybe Justin's Timberlake's best movie so far.
I gave this movie 3,5/5 stars! Enjoy the movie, and tell me what u think about it!
