SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Steineded How sad is this?

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

jguz58 Five Thirteen is similar in concept to Crash and Babel in which several people's lives unexpectedly intersect. That may be a weakness to some people, but nevertheless the film held my attention well.However, this is not the best of films, either. It got a little weak toward the end with how they did the big tie-up, and the Taryn Manning story was the weakest part of it, but there's some solid acting here (some of the cast, anyway) and some surprises along the way too.I had never heard of Kader Ayd before this and he hasn't directed very many films (none in over 3 years either, so who knows if/when he will) but this is an admirable effort. I will probably watch it again sometime soon.

Seth_Rogue_One Wasn't gonna bother reviewing this movie initially, because it's not really a movie anyone ever even heard about and it's not one really worth hearing about either.Anyway the reason I decided to do so still is because there are only 8 reviews in total and 4 of these are with a 99% certainty phoney ones made by people who actually made the movie (the fact the only movie they have rated is this and other Kader Ayd directed movies is a clear hint of this) and the fact that they won't admit the obvious flaws.Anyway regarding the movie it's pretty bland, a positive thing is the visual aspect it looks pretty neat for a low-budget movie with cool colours and well-placed angles but the movie is just far too messy it has like 8 different sub-plots all filled with plot holes.Acting is, not terrible I guess overall but not very good either.Worst part is the pace though it's supposed to be a tight thriller but it's just awfully slow at times and that's often where the weakness in the script and dialog shows itself the most.Malik Barnhardt and Avelawalance Philips have the leads, and Tom Sizemore has a reasonably big role as well.If you are interesting to watch it for any of the other cast-members don't expect too much of them, Taryn Manning for instance is just in it for a couple minutes in the beginning and the end.Overall the type of movie you forgot you even watched, 2 months after the fact (maybe shorter we will see).

eve_dolluk Well I decided to give this a go as it looked interesting and to be fair it was interesting to a point. The actually story here was quite a good one, the problem was the method in which they used to convey the story. The direction was all over the place as were the performances from the actors, but overall the pacing and the way it was presented was the biggest mess. You could actually sit there and see where the director had time and money to get shots right and where they had to rush shots which ended up looking very amateur, there were certain shots that looked straight out of a college project whereas others were top notch. Same goes for the acting at times it was good and at times it was bad, every female actress in this film was terrible ( as well as all having terrible lip jobs ) . The lead actor Malik Barnhardt overacted in virtually every scene that it became cringe worthy, Sizemore again was hammy but at least he was entertaining. Bokeem Woodbine was decent and stood out admirably in one scene. There were also some terrible editing decisions, scenes that should/could have been left out and scenes that needed to be in there for the whole thing to make proper sense and give it a proper feel.In the end it was a film trying to be too many films in one go. The film however bad in many parts was actually entertaining overall but my my, what a mess of what could have been a good film. I hope the writer in the future chooses not to direct his own stuff and instead puts it in the hands of a decent Director and probably more importantly an Editor who can chop out all the crap and keep in all the bits relative to story telling and proper pacing e.t.c. This would probably make a decent book to be honest !

tyrick100 I don't know what alshwenbear1 was watching. The movie was a great movie with a lot of twists that i didn't see coming and some that came back full circle at the end. Of course the movie isn't "The Town" The "Italian Job" or "Heat" in which I actually fell asleep on(and very few will admit.) Waaayyy too long but I love Robert Dinero and Al Pacino acting. Five Thirteen was a well shot movie with great close-ups, good photography and clichés, I don't know where you was raised but they were right on point. Oh yea on the other side of the coin Malik Barnhardt did a great job and actually had me hiding a tear at the end. I liked it and even shared it with my family, this movie is definitely worth watching.
