Movie Reviews

FILMINK (Australia) - 6/10 by John NoonanSometimes confusing and overwrought when it should be lean and scary, Cell 213 would perhaps fare better as a mini-series.
Georgia Straight - 4/10 by Steve NewtonThe film's overall quality rarely rises above decent direct-to-video product, and its underlying theme...is a tad ambitious, all things considered.
Jam! Movies - 4/10 by Jim Slotek[A] respectably-tense gene-splice of the prison-movie genre and supernatural horror.
Globe and Mail - 4/10 by James AdamsCell 213 is hokum, atmospheric hokum to be sure, but hokum all the same.
Toronto Star - 4/10 by Bruce DemaraA few scary moments don't make up for the maddeningly uneven and implausible tale.
User Review - 6/10 by Dave JMonday, July 7, 2014 (2011) Cell 213 PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR Cocky, philandering, lawyer, Michael Grey (Eric Balfour) who often attempts to free convicted murderers and rapists would do whatever it takes to win a case, even if it means resorting to unethical practices such as using scare tactics to scare crucial witnesses. Upon Michael visiting one of his clients, who's name is Charlie, who verbally confessed to raping and then killing an underage girl. Once conversing with Charlie at a closed room, he would then unexpectedly grab Michael's hand while holding his pen and then jab it onto his neck. Because there was no witnesses, except for the very resentful prison guard, Ray Clement (Michael Rooker) who just happened to walk in after Charlie was killed, Michael Grey then gets prosecuted and put in jail and placed into the same cell where, Charlie the child molester went berserk which is "Cell 213"- hence the title. And it is during this time is when Michael Grey start to hallucinate the same demons as Charlie. Watching this movie is like re-living a very bad dream since Michael Grey is an unlikable lawyer who frees admitted rapists and murderers, and as a result of attempting to receive the same treatment, he gets rejected from the very firm who hired him in the first place just because it has a reputation that needs to be respected. And although, this is a straight to rental movie, I like the direction this movie was conveying, which I started hating Michael to cheering for him since he was portrayed as an underdog as the movie was progressing. I'd just wish there could've been a better ending since as the saying goes, "Two wrongs don't make it right". 2.5 out of 4 stars
