Beware the too-hip-to-be-square movie trailer. Too often it masks a film without a soul or sense of purpose. The new Vegas drama "21" is a classic example. The trailer makes it seem trendy, hip and exhilarating. It's all three, but only over a few early sequences.

My Washington Times review explores just went wrong with the promising drama.
