Review of 13 (2010) by Remi L — 25 Nov 2011
What 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 the concept very interesting and unnerving. This topic has been covered before, but this feels very bare bones, very real. While the way it played out is predictable, its still jarring to witness.
50 Cent makes an understated cameo that I'm grateful for because him overstaying his welcome would've overshadowed the actual story. Mickey Rourke was great as always, but I was particularly surprised by Jason Statham's character and his character's background.
Perhaps the most disturbing of all. This movie is obviously violent, but it is not an action movie. More a violent drama. Worth a look.
