13

It is well-known that the most notorious number is 13. Hence, I didn't expect the movie “13” be bright and hilarious, nevertheless I was shocked to find it that dark.

The film starts innocently enough – by accident a guy, who name is Vince (Sam Riley), finds out the way of earning money fast. Despite the fact that he does not know any particular detail of it he is utterly resolute to try it.

After following certain instructions he ends up in some illegal casino, where one people participate in series of Russian roulette games and other bet on who will survive. After several rounds (where the last one is a duel) and against all odds Vince becomes the winner! He gets almost 2 millions of dollars. He takes the money and runs out of that place with one wish to forget about this nightmare.

However, the police is aware of such games and pull in Vince to ask him questions about it, but Vince doesn't reveal the truth and gets out of police station hurrying to the rain station to go home.

At that moment I even believed in happy ending of the film. Alas!

Jasper Bagges (played by Jason Statham) who lost his brother in the last duel against Vince sees him and follows … Without any doubts he kills the winner mostly on purpose to steal money from him and partly to get revenge for his brother's death.

However, Jasper doesn't know that Vince sent the money to his family by post before that!

The most sad and dark movie I have seen lately. Nonetheless, life consist of good and bad aspects which we must be aware of.  

Gone Girl

“Gone Girl” is a psychological thriller directed by David Fincher. The film stars by Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.

Honestly, I have decided to see the film just because the director is David Fincher. He has his own very distinctive style, and even if you have seen only one of his movies, you will immediately recognize Fincher's work in “Gone Girl”.

The plot is fast moving and absorbing, compels viewers to follow the chain of events. By the way, the screenplay based on a novel of the same name written by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the script.

Turning back to the film, the day of his 5^th anniversary, Nick Dunne (by Ben Affleck) returns home and finds his wife Amy (by Rosamund Pike) is missing. Of course, he goes to the police, then calls her parents. After all, the mass media covers the disappearance of Amy. Day by day the influence of the press on Nick's life is rising. Meanwhile, we find out the details of daily life of the couple which make us change our mind over Nick. Did he kill his wife? All evidences give us broad hints about it.

Whereas, Nick convinces his sister in his innocence and tries to prove it to everyone else, it turns out that the disappearance of Amy was committed by .. Amy. But no one knows it yet.

Will someone reveal the truth?

To find out the answer you must see the movie.

You will have no regrets after all! The film is absolutely worth of watching!
