So, Cheap Thrills or 13 Sins ??

IMO Cheap Thrills with a limited cast and storyline but great performances was better and way more effective in conveying the message. rated it 7.

I like Mark Webber and this one definitely had a higher budget and bigger cast but was full of plot holes and things which didn't make much sense. The conspiracy theory about this game running from old times indeed sounded fascinating and could've been used better. And there was ZERO chemistry between Elliot and Shelby. I'd give it a 5.

So, what did you rate them ?

cheap thrill was a mess. too predictable and overall shallow. 13 sins wasn't great either, for the same reasons, but at least some parts of this remake of a far better film were entertaining.

what maybe bothered me the most, when it comes to cheap thrill was this: years and years after the success of "four rooms" someone really has the guts to re-heat the "cut off a finger "idea? seriously?
