13 Sins is a smart, stylish picture elevated by fine performances by Webber and a superior ensemble of supporting players, including Richard Bower, Ron Perlman, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
An empty, efficient thriller that leaves you as cold as most of its characters.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
Never satisfyingly accounts for how the unseen puppeteer manages to keep a constant eye on Elliot's every move.
Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The "Saw" formula of a mysterious voice guiding our hero through a series of depravities has gone a bit stale.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
