Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Leaburn O Nerve shredding thriller, nicely set up, nicely executed and nicely closed off. Was a very decent low budget French picture well worth 90 minutes of your time but how this is only rated a 15 is beyond me. It's grim. Bought on DVD for £1 from charity shop - bargain. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review dave s Skip the tawdry, star-studded Hollywood remake (13) and check out the original French version of 13 Tzameti. Directed by Gela Babluani, it tells the story a young laborer who stumbles across an opportunity to make a lucrative payday, unaware of the specific details but willing to take the chance in order to alleviate his financial woes. What starts as on opportunity to lay hands on a handsome windfall soon becomes an unimaginable nightmare. The film, a cautionary tale regarding the disparity between the classes, among other things, is shot in vivid black and white and directed with great restraint, especially in light of the subject matter. 13 Tzameti is a gripping film from start to finish, well worth the time invested. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Heart stopping tension. Scenes inside the dungeon where the roulette is played is macabre. Gripping till the end. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Shot in wide-screen B&W, this award-winning debut from Georgian director Gela Babluani has all the strengths and weaknesses you might expect. The performances - not least from younger brother Georges in the lead - are exemplary, the storyline fascinating. But it lacks catharsis and seems pointless, almost as if the director is simply demonstrating technique. The music is also very intrusive. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Strong story, intelligent story, and apparently somehow based on truth. I had seen bits of this in other war films and did not believe people would agree to do this, but the extras had one player explaining it. Definitely nail biter although I suspected the hero would survive. Definitely a film noir not for the faint hearted. French film in black and white with english subtitles. Thumbs up for the film and down for the players and gamblers. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
