Started well with suspense and mystery, then went head first into shock and horror then it kind of went downhill and tried to be all film noir. Was good but bit up its own arse!
Although not graphically violent in terms of blood and gore, this film reminded me of a more serious version of 'Hostel' and perhaps a little of Johnny Depps 'The
Brave'. The black and white filming suited the darkness of the piece.
It does take a little warming up and re...( read more)
A wonderful idea is not capitalised on, resulting in an interesting but often lazy film. All the talent and necessary ingredients are here for a classic but it's the film's lack of depth that harms it. The main character is never explored. Sure he wants money, but his actions in ...( read more)
The first time I touched a gun, it was late into my teen years. I remember when and where. Entrusted to my care was a shotgun. The gun weighed on my shoulder and arms. Squeezing the trigger brought the desired effect, but for the life of me, I never did hit a single clay disc...( read more)
Gets straight to the point and gets the job done well. Not the most re-watchable flick out there, but still very much effective. Watch this before the pointless-full-of-dumb-exposition american remake comes out.
13 Tzameti, which apparently means thriteen thirteen, is a very dark suspense thriller. It is quite slow moving but deeply engrossing. It could have been quite gory but the director has chosen to take a low key approach to the storys very substantial violence. That, plus the fact...( read more)
This film is touching wild side of human being. It touches induvidually and realistlicly. Forget giving stars the films. Give stars yourself in order to judge how much beast instict you have in your side. LIVE ON AIR. Instead of chasing up opposide sex like March Cats by giving e...( read more)
If you ever receive an offer for a shady business proposition involving a game to which you don't know the rules, you may want to restrict yourself to an area of your expertise after viewing this bizarre and violent crime thriller.
Loved this french film set in black and white...didn't know how it would end up till the very last scene!
Gela Babluani, according to the film's sparse press kit, is only 26 years old but already knows more about suspense than some filmmakers learn in a career. full review
The film is exquisitely simple, and exceptionally tough, and its monochromatic visuals -- and cast of fascinating, hard-bitten faces -- make it impossible not to watch, even when events become close t... full review
Demands to be seen for the juice it manages to wring out of its central gambit but mostly for the directorial career it hints is on the horizon. full review
... little substance and lots of fashionable cynicism. full review
That calmness -- and the work of both Babluani brothers is weirdly stilled and mature, already devoid of the need to show off -- serves only to thicken the horror. full review
Aspires to the heights of a Jean-Pierre Melville or Fritz Lang but proves to be more along the mediocre lines of an M. Night Shyamalan. full review
Featured in the exploit "Dr. Magorium's Wunderbar Emporium" by Brad Spengler.
EmptyChambers.com is an online multiplayer game inspired by the film 13 tzameti. It's pretty fun, you actually get to shoot people in the head like in the film.
If anyone wants to play send me a message and we can try to russian roulette each other.
