Review of 13

13 (I) (2010)
3/10
Below expectations
22 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Not that I expected a lot, but the film itself was not interesting to me. It was not 100% predictable, but still boring. No suspense, no drama, no nothing. It was supposed to have actors who play deep dramatic roles as it was required by scenario but instead you have charming Statham who tries to bend the brows but you can't believe he's a bad guy. Mickey Rourke is not even funny this time. If you've seen him in Iron man - that's exactly the same way he plays here. I even think he didn't bother to change the make up since the previous film. Appearance of Mickey Rourke, 50 Cent and Ray Liotta does not help. It is a first time I see Sam Riley and he did not impress at all. He was not able to show the level of tension one would expect in such circumstances. He is a boy at the very beginning of the movie at things happening with him will definitely change his personality, but it happens too quickly and oops! he's a coldblooded lad who lies to cops without batting an eye and kills man enjoying his victory .

Moreover, the script is a bit hectic but still very slow. Statham and Ray Winstone are probably the best part of 13.

Wait until it out on DVD.
