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")

Entertaining and Forgettable Dark Comedy
Insane
I was at my friends place when he told me that a person he knows had recommended this movie to him and that we were to watch it. I asked him what movie it was and he told me its called Botched but knew nothing else about it,he had been told not to look up any info about the movie just watch it. So we watched it and i thought it was hilarious. My guess is when looking at the movies rating that this was not the way most people went in to this movie blind so to speak. You will first get the sense of a regular crime movie which escalates into a insane,hilarious and unpredictable film which was for me a movie that would not be easy to just forget about :D . I can imagine if i would have looked up the film online and read about it first or watched a review i would not have enjoyed it as much.
I wonder why one does not view movies this way every time completely blind. But for some reason one always have to read or hear a opinion about the film before deciding to watch it.
This time when i watched it blind it was one of the greatest movie experiences i ever had.
Fantastic B movie with some genuine LOL moments
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I am a massive fan of the horror/b movie genre dating back to Evil Dead days, and this movie didn't disappoint. With a superb cast of non-Russian speaking actors, it was well done. The twists in this movie are well thought out and dare I say original for once. And the humor, well, it doesn't come any blacker than that. I was most impressed by the gore factor, it wasn't massively over the top like others make it out to be, i was quite surprised by how they sometimes went with "less is more" logic. Very well orchestrated.
A well chosen movie by Stephen Dorff. Keep them coming mate.
9/10
