May 14, 20123 3/4's for me. This movie really had my heart racing. A little rough around the edges. Definitely Independent film style. Definitely suspenseful. My husband thought that this was a strange movie..I found it intriguing, and a bit shocking, at times. Plenty of familiar faces were ... read more

October 29, 2011A sharp, stylish, edgy and tension-charged thriller. It's a thrilling, nail-biting and exceptionally performed and well-crafted film. Director, Gela Bablunai takes his classic original film and gives it a new life and darkness to explore for a new audience. A story with intense c... read more

April 18, 2011Very good movie, impressive! I heard this was a remake, I didn't see the original but this was a very edgy heart-pumping film. The movie keeps you guessing what's gonna happen and even though some actors are not used to there full potential it was good enough. Loved the ending ve... read more

December 7, 2010After watching the original, it was the first time I believed a Hollywood remake could be an improvement. I'm amazed to find out I was right. All of my hangups concerning the original have been addressed here. First of all, Babluani has an exceptional eye for color. It adds to th... read more

December 14, 2011Unfortunately, 13 is a rather dull and monotonous film that lacks any compelling characters. With some big-name stars like Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke one would expect something quite formidable, but the film underperforms on every level. There's some potential in this stor... read more

January 28, 2012Not nearly as bad as the critics have said, 13 offers an interesting premise, decent acting, and always manages to be engaging. The cast features such greats as Ray Winstone, Jason Statham, Michael Shannon, and Mickey Rourke (50 Cent notwithstanding). None of them are used to th... read more

May 13, 2012I'll be frank with you all..the only reason i even gave this film a second thught was due to Jason Stathum being in it. Now after watching the film it wasn't worth it even for his performance which wasnt much of one. i was a little confused by the beginning of the storyline here.... read more

November 25, 2011What are you willing to do for money? '13' follows a young man named Vince who foolishly dives into a mysterious job in an underworld Russian roulette competition where he literally gambles his life for a fortune. The last man standing is literally the last man standing. I found... read more

November 21, 2011This movie really had no depth or point to it. Yes, the premise is crazy, but it was still boring.

"13'' is Gela Babluani's American remake of his successful 2005 Georgian-language film "13 Tzameti.'' He should have left well enough alone. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times
A tense, paranoid nightmare with a chilly metaphysical overview has been trampled into a blustering, bad cartoon. Full Review
October 26, 2011
Dennis Harvey, Variety
A starry cast and glossier production values simply work against the black-and-white original's strengths in this stillborn thriller. Full Review

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
[A] half-hearted redundancy, which often looks and sounds like something Charles Bronson paid bills with in 1979. Full Review

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
The anticlimactic final half hour, which is capped off with an oddly (and needless) downbeat finish, cements the film's place as a curiously half-baked piece of work... Full Review

Marshall Fine, Hollywood & Fine
A one-trick movie, with prefab suspense but also prefab plotting to undercut said suspense. Full Review

Kam Williams, AALBC.com
Despite a big, Hollywood budget allowing for a more grisly and more graphic, high attrition-rate adventure, this disappointing remake somehow still adds up to less. Rent the original. Full Review

Alison Willmore, Movieline
This is a lumpy, dumb, suspenseless thing that sometimes scarcely feels finished. Full Review

Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Making a film about the cutthroat world of Russian Roulette is a little like making a gambling thriller about the card game War. Full Review
