Review of 13

13 (I) (2010)
6/10
Better than i thought
1 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Going into this film i had bad expectations after reading some other reviews and having a cousin who'd seen it tell me it was a poor film with a bad ending, i went in expecting another expendables where its all big actors but a terrible film, i was pleasantly surprised by the story which had a lot of suspense and some good acting especially from the main character who I've not seen in any other project, a few things were slightly strange like the reason to put UFC fighter Forrest griffin as a minor role and then dub over his voice with a horrible accent, the man can speak for himself and i found that quite insulting, anyway that aside it was enjoyable and i found myself surprised by it, my last point is the ending which some people have said was bad, in my opinion this shaped things up nicely, Jason's character runs off with the money because we know him as a money hungry greedy man and this stays true, the main character eats the paper to stop the police or anyone else finding out about everything that happened and ultimately reclaiming the money which was send to his family, maybe we could have seen the money and the lamb arrive at the house and the reactions by the family which would have been a good send off but thats just my opinion, overall surprising film, no classic and a one time watch but better than i thought.
