13 game sayawng






Chit is a desperate guy; he has debts, his car has been seized, he’s lost his job and his love life is on the skids. When he receives a call to participate in a dangerous underground game in which he could win enough money to solve all of his problems, how far will Chit go before he draws the line?

Thai cinema is too few between, with not many titles reaching the west, Ong Bak has been the most success of late, and many are martial art films. It comes with regret that 13: Game of Death is a disappointment, the low budget does not help for the high concept premise, and Thai humour is never really that accessible in the UK at least, and is both off key next to the serious nature of the film and childish.

A slow moving non starter of a film, that is not clever enough and ambitious enough either.
Not terrible by any means just bland.
