Botched (2007)

best movie i've ever seen.

As Good As It Gets

A Major Disappointment

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

"Botched" is a high energy, fast moving crime comedy with horror movie style gore. Overall, it's quite invigorating, and frequently funny. Gore lovers will be pleased with what they see here. It has a nicely off the wall sensibility that keeps it unpredictable. Its villain, once revealed, is not so much scary as campy, and our protagonists are likable enough people that we remain on their side.Stephen Dorff stars as Ritchie, an American in Russia who owes a debt to mobster Mr. Groznyi (the always welcome Sean Pertwee). After Ritchie blows one job, Groznyi gives him a final chance to settle the debt: retrieve a valuable artifact from a penthouse apartment. Of course, nothing goes well, and soon Ritchie and his thuggish accomplices are obliged to take hostages. However, crooks and hostages alike all end up menaced by a dastardly sadist (Edward Baker-Duly).Everybody plays this so well that they just hook you right in. Dorff is an engaging hard-luck schmuck who does a good job of taking charge when it needs to be done. The supporting character of Boris Bogdanovich is particularly entertaining, and hilariously played by Geoff Bell. Hugh O'Conor is similarly fun to watch as the put upon Dmitry. Jaime Murray is damn sexy as Anna. Kit Ryans' direction is stylish and the script by Raymond Friel, Derek Boyle, and Eamon Friel contains some priceless dialogue. The gore and makeup effects are excellent and the music by Tom Green has a great funky feel to it.Well worth watching for fans of black comedy.Eight out of 10.

This movie should be renamed as Bonkers, as this was one hell of a bonkers movie.The start of the movie, starts of like a crime a movie first, (You know different the start of from dusk till dawn to the second part of movie)Ritchie had a job to do but after talking to his Boss (Who was not happy, Sent him to Russia.Here is a Quote from someone in the movie here Dmitry: I don't want to know your handle! Just listen! I got on this lift, and you're thinking, 'Hmm, normal passengers, ground floor please.' No, three of them had done a robbery and the rest of us were hostages. And things have changed since then, some of the hostages have taken over! Yeah, they tried to sacrifice me! Come back robbers, all is forgiven! And before I forget, there's also this psycho definite sex-criminal nut-job running around cutting people's heads off! I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet but I'm sure I will later. That will explain how bonkers this movie real is!This movie was a lot fun to watch, there are some really funny moment (Including giants rats scenes, and some what gory deaths which are really funny as well.There are few twist and Turns in this movie , which worked really well , acting from the whole cast was outstanding, which was really surprisingly for movie like this Really good 7 out of 10

This, in my opinion was a top class film, had parts i had to rewind because i found them so funny. i wont go through the storyline and the plot because that would take too long! I also wanted to mention that Boris, is now one of my favourite characters in any film, he is without a doubt the funniest character, especially when they run into the room, he farts, and mumbles, 'it was me'. people may say the accents are poor, and cheesy! and i agree, but this is what makes the movie even better, i loved the accents as i have a silly sense of humour! When you begin to watch this film, please do not go into it with a 100% serious attitude expecting a blockbuster, just sit back, and enjoy! 10/10!

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")
