Trailer Time: 13, starring Sam Riley, Jason Statham, 50 Cent, and Mickey Rourke

The cast alone probably has you intrigued, doesn't it? Me too. 13 is a remake of the Russian gangster flick, 13 Tzameti, about a guy who assumes a dead man's identity then finds himself swept up in a world of crime and a high stakes game of roulette where men gamble on eachother's lives.  I can't really get a read on the trailer. I'm digging the stylized look, and it's always good to see Sam Riley(Control) mixed in amongst more well known stars. But this is kindof a boring trailer, don't you think? You'd think with the likes of Jason Statham, Rourke, 50 Cent(and that's just the half of it), this would be brimming with tough guy energy. But everybody's acting as if they just had a really big Thanksgiving meal and ready for a nap.
