"13'' is Gela Babluani's American remake of his successful 2005 Georgian-language film "13 Tzameti.'' He should have left well enough alone.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Rotten
A tense, paranoid nightmare with a chilly metaphysical overview has been trampled into a blustering, bad cartoon.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Making a film about the cutthroat world of Russian Roulette is a little like making a gambling thriller about the card game War.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten
A starry cast and glossier production values simply work against the black-and-white original's strengths in this stillborn thriller.
