Keeps you on lock the whole time, and trust me this film can be offensive, but it's great, that's why the remake is on the way.

| Y | This was a well made thriller from Thailand. Ya know I really hope they don't make a remake, but yeah it's on the way from the Weinstien boys. Plus a remake of Versus from the same director is coming too. | JV47842 |
"13: Game Of Death" is the story of men with nothing to lose and everything to game. After he lost his job, his car, and his hop he receives a phone call with a way out: play the game and win $100,000,000. How far would you go? 13 challenges, he finds that this is his only way to improve his situation. First challenge: kill the fly in the stairwell with you. Second challenge: eat the fly. Would you go this far? There are some very graphic scenes and some terrible events in this film. Also you will never see the ending coming until you see it.
| Chit is a young salesman who is experiencing rough times: his girlfriend just left him, he's in serious debt, and his car has just been repossessed because of late payments. To make matters worse, he comes into work to find out that his company is letting him go because of his poor sales performance.
One day, Chit gets a mysterious call from a cell phone-based "game show" that offers him the chance to take part in a contest where he can win $100 million dollars. The rules are simple: He has to complete 13 tasks given by an automated operator. With each task he completes, large sums of the money are instantly deposited into his account. Though the first few tasks are easy and fun (e.g. "kill the fly that's buzzing around you with a newspaper"), the ones that come later become unappealing, gruesome and deadly. And just when you think the tasks can't get any worse, they do. "13: Game of Death" (mostly known as "13 Beloved") is a pleaser from start to finish. I was always in suspense at what, or how freaky, the next challenge would be. Even though the film relies mostly on gore and shock value, there are surprising turns that play an important part into the plot. "13: Game of Death" is definitely a great change from the typical horror/ghost movies that Asian film directors have been pumping out. Give it a shot. |
