13

     Russian roulette gets taken underground to a high-stakes betting arena as men take their lives into their own hands in a game of complete chance. A young man who’s family is in financial distress which leads him to thinking outside the box for making money and takes something he has no idea what it is, but he knows will make big bucks. Somehow the young man finds himself getting himself into more than he bargained for and has no way out of.


     13 was a different movie with an interesting and refreshing story. The actors participating in the life or death game were so believable. The built anxiety and tension in this made this film as good as it was. It has a decent cast of Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgaard. The actor who stole the show was new comer Sam Riley who doesn’t have much to his resume, but I’m sure will be in a lot more movies. This was what I would consider a guys movie. Not much dialogue, man-favourite actors, guns and gambling. I’m sure it’s comparable to something, but it’s not my kind of movie to review.
