Easier to admire than it is to sit through, the French film 13 (Tzameti) is an exercise in stylish depravity that may one day be viewed as the debut of a great filmmaker.
January 19, 2007 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
A tightly screwed shocker, a suspense tour de force that proceeds through a harrowing chain of events with alarming confidence.
January 19, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 -
It may be smarter than Saw II or Saw III, but it's just selling a classier brand of sadistic voyeurism.

The Georgian-born French director Gela Babluani makes an absorbing debut with this black-and-white thriller.
October 13, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
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.
September 29, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
The Babluanis are brothers to pay attention to.

Dec 02, 2012There's is no free lunch in this world, an immigrant learns the harsh truth by participating in a deadly game of Russian Roulette. Chilling and suspenseful, 13 Tzameti is a thriller that challenges your psyche to the very limit. I liked the unique style and the lighting but the acting was just pathetic. Some parts really did bore me too, it could have been trimmed down.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Jan 14, 2011Could have been a masterpiece if the actors could ooze a bit more emotion. The script is good with a number of surprising twists, but it is the direction that helps tighten the tension and deliver a great thriller.Nicolas K Super Reviewer

Aug 13, 2009A very impressive debut film by a young french filmmaker. What starts out initially as a seemingly simple tale soon turns into a twisted thriller. The amount of tension this film builds is incredible. You'll be hooked. The black and white filming fits perfectly. It gives the film a different edge that I don't think would have been the same had it been filmed in color. The directing and acting are great. The casting is perfect as well, in my opinion. At times, I got the feeling that I'm watching real people and not actors. Great soundtrack which doesn't convolute every scene as silence plays a big role in the movie, building the tension. No clichés or other silliness. This film is highly recommended!John M Super Reviewer
