Nonureva Really Surprised!

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Scott LeBrun "Botched" is a high energy, fast moving crime comedy with horror movie style gore. Overall, it's quite invigorating, and frequently funny. Gore lovers will be pleased with what they see here. It has a nicely off the wall sensibility that keeps it unpredictable. Its villain, once revealed, is not so much scary as campy, and our protagonists are likable enough people that we remain on their side.Stephen Dorff stars as Ritchie, an American in Russia who owes a debt to mobster Mr. Groznyi (the always welcome Sean Pertwee). After Ritchie blows one job, Groznyi gives him a final chance to settle the debt: retrieve a valuable artifact from a penthouse apartment. Of course, nothing goes well, and soon Ritchie and his thuggish accomplices are obliged to take hostages. However, crooks and hostages alike all end up menaced by a dastardly sadist (Edward Baker-Duly).Everybody plays this so well that they just hook you right in. Dorff is an engaging hard-luck schmuck who does a good job of taking charge when it needs to be done. The supporting character of Boris Bogdanovich is particularly entertaining, and hilariously played by Geoff Bell. Hugh O'Conor is similarly fun to watch as the put upon Dmitry. Jaime Murray is damn sexy as Anna. Kit Ryans' direction is stylish and the script by Raymond Friel, Derek Boyle, and Eamon Friel contains some priceless dialogue. The gore and makeup effects are excellent and the music by Tom Green has a great funky feel to it.Well worth watching for fans of black comedy.Eight out of 10.

JoeytheBrit Clearly filmed on a micro-budget, this horror-comedy manages to deliver an entertaining story by never taking itself seriously for one moment. I didn't know a thing about this movie, and was expecting a heist movie so you can imagine my surprise when, twenty minutes in, one of the hostages taken by hapless jewel thieves Ritchie (stephen Dorff), Peter (Jamie Foreman) and Yuri (Russell Smith) is unexpectedly decapitated by a pair of giant shears. The story gets more hectic and bizarre from this moment on, and while some of the intended laughs fall wide of the mark, the frantic pace means there's little time for reflection over those misfires.For my money, Jamie Foreman - who has been singled out by some reviewers as giving a bad performance - enlivens the film with his deliberately over the top performance as Peter, the violent psychopathic Russian gangster, and it's a shame that he's missing for a large chunk of the action. The ever dependable Jeff Bell also hits the mark as Boris, the woefully inept 'Alpha Male' security guard who falls victim to his own booby trap. The film grows dafter as it builds to an ultra-violent conclusion, but that is always its intention, and if you leave the viewing grumbling about it maybe you were in the wrong frame of mind when you started watching it?

Claudio Carvalho While escaping from a successful heist of diamonds in an auction house for the Russian mobster lord Mr. Groznyi (Sean Pertwee), the driver of the runaway car crashes a wall and only the thief Ritchie Donovan (Stephen Dorff) survives. He runs with the wallet full of diamonds, but he is hit by a car and loses the stones on the street. The upset Mr. Groznyi sends Ritchie to Moscow to compensate his mistake and steal an ancient and valuable cross in the penthouse of a building with the clumsy Russian brothers Peter (Jamie Foreman) and Yuri (Russell Smith). However the plan goes wrong and Ritchie and his partners take a group of passengers from the elevator as hostage to the 13th floor. They negotiate with the police, but when they release the first hostage in good faith, they discover that their negotiator is not from the police but an evil serial-killer, beginning their night of terror trapped on the floor.The gore "Botched" is an entertaining and forgettable dark comedy. The weird story has funny and silly moments, but something is missing to make "Botched" a cult-movie or at least a great movie. The jokes do not work well and it is strange to see the bizarre "Russian" characters speaking in English. The daughter of Billy Murray, Jaime Murray, is extremely sexy in the role of the executive Anna and shows a great chemistry with Stephen Dorff. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "13o Andar" ("!3th Floor")

zydecajun I gave this movie a 1. Only Because that's as Low as the scale would go. If I could I would have given it a -10. It started out fine and then took a turn for the Worst quickly and it was ALL Downhill from there. I recognized Two actresses from their other work. Jamie Murrey and Bronagh Gallagher I can only determine that whatever Stephen did , they also did. Or maybe someone has Pictures of them doing Unspeakable things that they were afraid would be leaked to the Internet so this is their Blackmail Payment. I rented this movie because of the Tag Line I read on the DVD. I also think Stephen Dorff was Great in Blade. He seems to be a pretty good actor so one has to wonder how he got talked into this fiasco. i understand the Other actors incentive. they need the work. But Stephen?? What were you Smoking??? And Please don't tell me this film is anything else but Bad Bad Bad Movie-making. The Plot, Acting, Special effects....EVERYTHING ...were so below what a B movie is that even a Bad B movie was more fun to watch than this. It was a Horror picture alright. A Horror to watch..
