Watch 2:13 For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

OK. Let me makes this plain and simple. I am not going to tell you who is the killer. You will probably, as I did, think you know because it seems rather obvious, but the plot-hole (big enough to drive a VW thru) comes down to age difference. Our protagonist is clearly Older than the Killer (a check with the cast index on IMDb has the protagonist- killer age difference as 10 years and it shows). Yet, when the protagonist was just 10, and they emphasize this again & again, they have the killer already an adult in their 20's. I have to surmise that they(the screenwriters) are basing the ages on the year the movie was released - 2009. Then they have very important plot issues happen in the late 60's. If the killer was an adult in the late 60's...say 20 for example, the killer would be right around 60 in 2009, and this is not the case at all. Sad, sad, sad, another movie gone bad. I really wanted to like this film. All the characters did a fine job with their roles, and it was taut and suspenseful. And as the Title of this review states...A Good Thriller, if you don't use too much logic.

Unless you're game for checking out anything you see in a store, or on TV, "2:13" is not really worth your time. It's really nothing we haven't seen many times before, in similarly themed "psychological thrillers". Leading actor / screenwriter Mark Thompson (better known as a radio personality) plays profiler Russell Spivey, with two predominant, oh so familiar characteristics: he's full of inner demons, and has turned to alcohol as a result. While he gets caught up in a serial murder case, in which the murderer has a personal connection to him, he makes frequent visits to a psychiatrist played by Kevin Pollak. Oh, and he just happens to have been romantically involved with one of his colleagues, played by the sexy Teri Polo of the "Meet the Parents" franchise. This is one of those scripts where one would swear the screenwriter was going down a list of popular clichés and ticking them off as he utilized them. Thompson does make some attempt at originality by using the Shakespeare comedy "As You Like It" (!) as a plot element, as well as some attempt at profundity, but it just doesn't come off. Oppressive atmosphere, and recurring use of disturbing / gory imagery can only help so much. The main cast features a number of familiar faces, who each bring some credibility to the production, and take their roles seriously, not that they can do much to raise it above an average level. Jere Burns ('Dear John', 'Something So Right') plays one of Thompson's colleagues (and, in fact, worked with Thompson and Pollak in a previous movie, "Mother Ghost"), Lyman Ward ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off") is the police captain, Ken Howard ('Dynasty', 'The Colbys', 'Crossing Jordan') is a sheriff, country music star & actor Dwight Yoakam is the character Sandy, and Mark Pellegrino ('Lost', "Capote") is a distraught husband. What "2:13" really can't overcome are the holes in Thompson's screenplay, chief among them the revelation of who the killer is; there are ways this could have been solved but as it is the whole thing is bungled. Too bad; this could have been at least somewhat better. Five out of 10.

Nothing adds up, no logic, bad acting. Somebody had a very bad day when they decided to release this crap.Actually quite an original well done movie - Not! The acting was poor, on a level way beneath poor actually, in occasions. It was advertised as being stomach churning but I'm afraid that it was far from it, at times it was more like a comedy than a thriller.... The plot was so bad and had no logic at all, the personal relations between leading parts began but was left with an uncertainty as if the writer got bored with them and then decided just to get rid of one of them by another murder, which left the other one completely indifferent - "funny" love-story. The killers reason (or motive) was quite far-fetched - exaggerated is an understatement. And for Gods sake; how could the killer who was much younger than Spivey have been a grown-up at the time he met the young Spivey at an age of 10? So many of these little oversights made the total impression of a great muck-up.

To begin this film has exceeded my expectations by a landslide.I thought going in i would be watching a movie that i have seen a 100 times before with a different name.I am a sucker for the Horror,Thriller genre.I feel this to be more of a mystery thriller.That said the acting was great,well paced,edge of your seat(my kind of movie)in your face.The director did a fine job.I was especially impressed with the twist,mainly because i didn't see it coming.I usually can put my finger on the who dun it but i was really thrown for a loop here.I gotta say i thought it was going a different direction,and i love the fact that i was way wrong(that is so cool).So to sum it up if you want to see a great who dun it in your face mystery thriller (with a bit of horror thrown in)then i highly recommend giving 2:13 a look,you will not be disappointed.I am anxious to read your reviews.Enjoy.
