13 Sins

While the plot is illogical and makes no sense, I had a lot of fun with this film. The acting isn't great, and there is nothing technically impressive, but it's just great to watch and see the decisions being made (also whether you'd make the same ones). The ending is the most stupid thing ever. I mean, you have $5.7m and a cleared record, why would you shoot Ron Perlman and lose it all....just to somehow "put things right" in your mind or try and fix the world, or even to avenge the death of your mum, brother, and father. It still make no sense...they're already dead, you might as well take the millions and enjoy it with the love of your life and live happily ever after. Now, his family members and all the people he was responsible for killing, they all died for nothing, no gain at all.

For a low-budget thriller, it's well made and the story is interesting, that's all I expect.

B

It is engaging for a while, albeit derivative of Saw and other films, but it lost me as the credulity-straining twists and ultra-gory deaths mounted. It just loses the plot. Cheap Thrills is a more interesting variation on this theme.

C

Yes, I really want to see Cheap Thrills. One thing about 13 Sins that doesn't make sense is how this age old secret organisation can somehow see everything that happens, then instantly (like, within less than 1 second) send a text message about it. But like I said above, it kept me interested.
