Recount is told largely from the Gore camp's perspective; the Dems even get the marginally bigger stars--Kevin Spacey, Denis Leary and Ed Begley Jr. to the Republicans' Laura Dern, Tom Wilkinson and Bob Balaban. When a Florida court decision holds out hope for Gore, stirring music swells. When Bush recount honcho James Baker III (Wilkinson) walks onscreen, the sound track all but plays Darth Vader's theme...

Ben needs tuition money for Harvard Medical School and is soon seduced by the possibility of hitting it big with cards. The players lead a fantasy lifestyle during...
...Everyone was pretty young on the set and we all just had a blast,” said Sturgess. The film, which chronicles Ben’s foray into gambling as a means of paying his medical school tuition, also stars Kate Bosworth as his love interest and Kevin Spacey as the leader of Ben’s blackjack team. “I like how it’s about everyday people going against the system and coming out on top,” said Sturgess.
