The problem that I see with this remake is that the overwhelming sense of hopelessness the protagonist suffers is not shared by the audience this time around. At my house, though, the audience shared pizza rolls. So it wasn't a total loss.

Somewhat weird and full of unexplained happenings this lacked something to take it beyond a different type of "fight club".

Look at all the famous actors!

Most boring and stupid Russian roulette game in history. Watched it accidentally, was aiming for the original one.

What a waste of a great cast. That last shot was dope tho.

This is a bad movie. The music selected for this movie is really bad, it does not seem to fit any of the scenes in this work. The script is poor, we only see a few moments of what motivates any of the characters. There are plenty of interesting actors wasted in this movie. Definitely avoid this film.

Good film.

It is kind of hard to make an entire movie about Russian Roulette, but they do an okay job of pulling it off.

I felt like this was building towards something that it never quite realizes. Despite the unique premise and intriguing escalation of events, it just falls flat.

What the hell???!!!! Why did the director (who also directed the original) take away all the epicness of the original movie (13 tzameti) and replace it with this crap? The 50 cent scenes made my eyes bleed and all the characters were ruined.. This story is not meant for hollywood and should have stayed in it's epic french-styled form. Michael Shannon and the movies' soundtrack are the only things that were good about this movie besides from the epic story of the original movie.

Michael Shannon is the only reason this wasn't a waste of time. His performance throughout the entire movie consists of him yelling at everyone like a maniac while standing atop a step ladder.

"Hey, dude, that movie's got Sam Riley in it, let's watch that one, wait...50 Cent, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Alaxander Skarsgard, and Ray Winstone! Pimp, that one will be awesome." 90 minutes later..."Holy crap, that sucked."

Surprising. It can make you feel quite dreadful.

A naive goof desperate for money inadvertently ends up becoming a player in a high stakes version of Russian Roulette. The lead is all bug eyes and clenched teeth, and Mickey Rourke's character is nothing but time filler. Ray Winstone and Statham's characters were more interesting, but the film kinda peters out to an underwhelming ending. Apparently this is a remake, I may have to track down the original to see if it's any better. Cool premise, middling execution.

Jason Statham movies are a guilty pleasure for me, but this is just TERRIBLE. It's stupid beyond belief. One day I'd love to hear the people behind this try to justify it. I hope they didn't make any money on it.

Terrible

Humorless and dry would put it nicely. Dull and, for a lack of better words, weird would be what I would call it. Strangely off-kilter in that the lack of narration strips away any tension.

Der Film ist nicht gut aber auch nicht richtig schlecht. Man kann durchaus gute Absichten erkennen, die Idee ist nicht schlecht aber die Umsetzung hätte (viel) besser sein können. Da es ein Remake ist (sein soll) vermute ich einfach mal dass das Original besser war :D

Haven't seen the original yet.. But this movie was ok. I didn't appreciate the ending though.. the guy walking through the tunnel... It made you think; and then, a guy walking through a tunnel......... It was a good movie, but to end it like that.. hmm

This film was strangely compelling. In spite of a formulaic plot, it was well acted and engaging. Unfortunately, the ironic ending was boring - not bad, just boring.

After seeing the original this just seems to be a watered down version. The original is more intense and gripping and one could associate with the tension during the shooting scenes. If you havent seen the original this is worthwhile.

The premise is good and the shooting scenes were quite intense, but everything else around it was kind of dull...

The idea of the game was interesting, some tension here and there were also okay. But as one movie it did not work, the beginning was way too slow and the title was the lamest in long time. Awoke curiosity for the original.

I don't know why he felt he needed to remake it with big stars (unless he was hoping to make money but I doubt he did) because this version loses most of the tension and style of the original. The performances range from good to mediocre and the added storylines do nothing but muddle the film. Decent if for whatever reason you can't stand reading the subtitles on a much better film.

Intense at times, although it's predictable.

Completely by-the-numbers remake.
