There are no wrestlers in this one, although I'm pretty sure Ron Perlman would have made a great one. This film is about a game, millionaires have played for decades, a game that has become more prolific and a lot more fun, with the advent of modern technology. A seemingly random person receives a call telling them that they've been selected for a game show. The subject completes simple tasks and starts earning money, but as the prize goes up, so does the danger. Once the subject is a wanted felon, they must finish the game and earn the grand prize or they could be spending the rest of their lives behind bars. Veteran character actor, Mark Webber, stars in 13 Sins and he was a very odd choice for a leading man. Webber is this small nerdy guy, who seems like he wouldn't be the type to play this game, no matter the reward. Like many others, Webber is suckered in an soon becomes a wanted man, he is being chased by a local detective, played by Ron Perlman. The casting created a very awkward dynamic, as the "good guy" is this huge scary guy, and the "bad guy" is this little nerdy guy, but somehow it works. 13 Sins is certainly more horrific and crazy than 12 Rounds was, however the similarities between the two are so similar that I'm surprised WWE Films didn't attempt to halt it's release. I loved the idea of 12 Rounds and 13 Sins is just taking the same idea to an extreme, but despite the clear similarities, and the odd choice of casting, it's still a thrilling film that was definitely entertaining.… Expand

A fairly entertaining movie however not in the least bit original. The other problem with this film is that the ending leaves everything unresolved. In typical horror movie fashion it leaves it open for sequels but at the same time the movieA fairly entertaining movie however not in the least bit original.

This is what someone would make if Saw and Chess were together. That's what 13 Sins is. The movie starts out slow and ends slow as well. But the entertaining plot and the strong performances make it more than just a bargain theatre horrorThis is what someone would make if Saw and Chess were together. That's what 13 Sins is. The movie starts out slow and ends slow as well. But the entertaining plot and the strong performances make it more than just a bargain theatre horror porn. When I mean this movie is crazy, it's super crazy. Plot twists, direction and story is done really well. This one really is much more than its aiming for. Providing great action scenes, awesome plot twists and a bloody 70s game show style- 13 Sins is one of the best VOD movies of the year, it's scary, twisted and bloody fun.… Expand

The acting wasn't terrible, in fact, looking like it would have been cheaply made, you'd assume a bit of cheap acting. I thought the performances were strong, well thought out script for the most part.

It definitely didn't fix my 'horror' film need, it was Not scary, slightly thrilling. A few twists in there that i wasn't expecting. BUT, again, kept my interest for half the movie. You'll see in a lot of other reviews that the general norm is it gets boring and repetitive, which is an understatement.

Worth seeing. But not work money.… Expand

13 Sins is brutal, mainstream terror. I watched it online and I not only was hooked all the way to the end, but also thinking of what a hell of an idea. Well done performances from all the actors and the there is likable characters too. Every13 Sins is brutal, mainstream terror.

Every film has its SINS, this movie just becomes a bit boring and repetitive an hour in and it is disappointing. However, you have to see 13 Sins, it is highly recommended!… Expand

A silly, dumb pile of garbage. The movie isn't clever enough and becomes even more unrealistic and corny as time goes by. It wasn't thrilling or scary.

It is a remake of the Thai film '13 Beloved'. Not seen the original film, but this is a very familiar theme. Some good films were already made out of it and this one is slightly different. It is about a man who is expecting a baby with his girlfriend who he is going marry very soon. But he gets fired from his job and clueless about raising a child and maintain the family. Then a strange phone call gives him a series of challenges to win with a greater reward. It all begins with a small easy task and then begin to complicate when he can't back off as per the rules he has agreed. Now how far he goes to finish it off what he had started was told in the rest of the film.

Since this is not a fresh idea for a film, I expected the story to be very good, but a little disappointed. At least it opened well and overall first half was much better. Later the film did not stand up to what it was promised in the earlier. But kind of unpredictable way it was developed. Seeing how the film was received, those who liked the original version did not like this one. That happens all the time as expected. Even though if you haven't seen the Thai film, the chances are slim one to enjoy it, especially if you have seen and liked the films like '12 Rounds', 'The Game', including the recent 'Nerve'. Not bad for watching at once, but instead I would suggest other similar title if you ask me.
