13 grzechów

If it was an original film, I would give it a weak three stars, but it’s a remake of Thai film from eight years ago and I’m not giving it more than two. When the film is true to the original, it’s terribly weak (the intensity of some of the tasks), and the occasional differences go mostly in the wrong direction (for instance, unforgivably leaving out the task with the unpleasant food). The creators try to explain a bit more the background of the “Game”, but unfortunately, they squeeze it into the story in a clumsy way. And then… when it comes to the nonsense, it’s better not to even try to explain it. 13 Sins basically weakens what was good about the original movie and strengthens what was bad. So, a pointless film. (20.03.2014)

Even though I am not a fan of remakes - and regardless of the fact that I haven't seen the original film yet - I am certain that the quality of this remake is high enough to deserve a rating of 75%. "13 Sins" is a film that still stands out within American remakes. It has weaker moments and towards the end it starts to become perhaps a little too fast-paced, but it is still an excellent example that remakes don't always end up as complete garbage. (28.04.2014)
