Leave your thoughts about The Thirteenth Floor.
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesThe movie works. And yet it fails to be a great one because of the dissatisfying last hour, which gives us predictable twists and atrocious conclusions. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis movie is one of those good, thought-provoking, adult-oriented science fiction sleepers like "The Arrival," "Gattaca" or 'Dark City.' |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyThe film starts strong presenting a captivating scenario, then somewhere in the second half dips into a sappy romance. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonIt's an effective noir thriller that keeps you, if not on the edge of your seat, at least curious about what might happen next. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenWell acted and crisply directed, this latest version can at least make a claim to competence. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThings become almost too strange and convoluted to handle. The story's dramatic effectiveness starts to seriously malfunction. The fascinating and the mysterious become the silly and occasionally comical. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsA solid, interesting B-movie, in another season it would seem a good deal fresher. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerComes too late, far surpassed by similar and more visually stunning devices in "The Matrix," and even by the mind-bending realities of "eXistenZ." |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA marvelous film right up until its inappropriate ending leaves you feeling betrayed. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough the film tried, it simply couldn't create too much depth for its characters. |
