Thirteen Lives

"Thirteen Lives deserves to be seen. (...) I saw it on a huge screen and had to occasionally remind myself that if it got really overwhelming, I could always close my eyes. It’s that intense." 

"Thirteen Lives is a solid achievement, technically and dramatically (...) Like its protagonists, it isn’t flashy but is all business. It gets the job done with a minimum of histrionics, yet a mountain of suspense. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"The suspense inherent in planning and executing the rescue stimulates a sleepy story, energizing the relationships among the divers, especially Mortensen and Farrell’s characters" 

"[it] works, but there has to be a more original way in to the story, other than through the main entrance, high-fiving its heroes at every step (...) it might have spent a little more time on the 'Thirteen Lives' on the line" 

"“Thirteen Lives” is a gripping and suspenseful experience. It'll have you holding your breath until the very end. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"A fine drama with adept performances that are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats." 

"In attempting to dramatize their harrowing story in the film, the director doesn’t make quick, from-the-gut decisions the way that the intrepid team did. Instead, he takes a chill ride on the Lazy River (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
