The Last Casino

When I first tuned into this movie on the movie network, I didn't expect much because it is a Canadian film. But by the end of the movie, I had a different appreciation of what Canadian film makers can accomplish. This movie kept me interested throughout, and didn't need a huge budget to do so. The storyline is well written and the direction is top notch. The subtle humor and mature language was also well-placed. If you like cards, or casinos, or movies involving scamming money, this is the film for you. The fairly new cast does a great job. I liked the investor character of Orr, but I especially liked Katharine Isabelle as Elyse. She is a talented actress and beautiful to boot. If you're looking for a good Canadian film, this has got to be one of the best. This is a definite must-see.

I was watching a bit of wind down TV just before kicking off to sleep when I stumbled upon the Last Casino. I must say I was immediately captivated by the introductory scenes and story line. I was kept awake because of the pace of the movie, it got my attention right away. I've been a fan of the movie "Rounders" with Matt Damon and Edward Norton, and most recently the TV series "Vegas", so I was naturally curious to see which way this would go. I have to say this movie was awesome.This is a must see as it shows a most interesting side of gambling not seen often. I've always been intrigued by gambling and felt there is much more than luck involved.I was also delightfully surprised that this was a Canadian flick and nice to see our colored money. Especially to see it being won in large sums. All of the actors/actress were most impressive and I recommend this show over and over.

Its a story about a professor called Barnes who got a 40.000$ debt. Thats why he recruits 3 students Elyse (Katharine Isabelle), Scott and George and teaches them the art of card counting. Its really fun to watch the friendship of 3 totally different people to grow so fast, watch them getting better and better in card counting and winning all the money.

The reason i watched this movie was because of Katharine Isabelle (favorite actress) but in the first minutes of the movie i saw that this is going to be fun because i always liked movies about casinos, money and this kinda cheating. Its not so popular probably because its a TV movie and made in Canada (No offense or anything) but it should be.

If you get the chance to see this awesome movie than do it!

Before watch this movie, I have 21 another version of this movie. In my opinion I still love 21 movie. I think 21 is better in many aspects than this movie, especially in movie's plot, actors and actresses, etc. Overall I believe that 21 movie is better than movie. But this movie is also another good option for gambling movie.

As a person who has been "asked" to leave a casino for keeping a running bias count, I obviously have a interest in the subject matter.

The plot centers around a college professor who has been banned from the casino(s) in his area for counting cards. He owes a good bit of money to the "investors" who has been banking him. He recruits kids good at math from the university to win money back from the casino.

I always like the idea of someone sticking it to the casinos as the casinos give such horrible odds to players.

The fun of the movie is how the kids react and handle the pressure of using a system to beat the casino. The systems they use in the movie would not work in Casino's in Vegas and Atlantic City but variations of the system has been used for a long time by card counters.

This is a fun little movie for anyone who has been to a casino especially anyone who plays blackjack.
