Review
A complete waste of talent and time. Probably the next contender of the last air bender, but the only downside of this is the screenplay. Thirteen is lack of story and lack of character building. Bombarded with a major name like Jason Statham and Mickey Rouke to star in it, surely nobody could think that this movie is going to be a big disappointment. However, Gela has successfully trick so many audiences, especially with those elegantly designed poster like above. Thirteen is just like throwing a flat story and make it looks like a blockbuster hit. Just can't believe that Jason Statham even considered signing in for the cast.
What makes me want to see the movie at first is the cast and the poster which looks appealing. And now I want my whole 90 minutes back. The premise is interesting but the way it is being told is ridiculous. First 10 minutes really depicted how it is going down from there. There is lack of detail in the story. Barely a good explanation on how the winner is paid and how the players are being picked can be found in the movie. The main character is lacking of motive and it is executed poorly.
Well, some might find it interesting. But if you like thriller movie with a good story and greatly built character, this movie is worth a skip.
