Matt Kracht Obviously, this movie isn't for everyone. However, if it works for you, you'll probably wonder why nobody else in the room is laughing, as you're falling off the chair, gasping for breath. Or maybe that's just me.Admittedly, this is a nonsensical, surreal story that doesn't even pretend to have pretensions toward coherence or believability. Whereas part of the movie takes place in Russia, all the "Russian" actors speak in hilariously bad, over-the-top parodies of Russian accents. This might be a deal-breaker for you, or it might be what pushes you to proclaim this the best movie ever made, to the disgust of everyone else.Trying to describe the plot would be pointless, as it wouldn't make any sense, and it sounds really dumb. The first half of the movie is more traditional, with real characters and a half-hearted attempt at a plot. The second half, however, is basically just a splatter comedy, and it pretty much abandons all the plot elements of the first half, in favor of absurdist humor and gore. In that sense, it's somewhat like Peter Jackson's Dead Alive.If you like black comedies, splatter comedies, or cult movies, you should check this out. Just be warned: it's a bit low budget, and if the thought of Satanic serial killers with really bad Russian accents doesn't make you giggle, you'll probably find this movie insultingly stupid.
Dainius8888 A really random film. And I do mean random due to the plot. OK, I won't spoil anything, but here are some of the elements from the film. Russia, heist, hostages and out of nowhere comes a murdering psychopath, living in a abandoned hotel floor, who imagines he is a fearless knight... Like I said, random. But really funny, especially due to the fact, how the all of this idiotic randomness is applied from a realistic perspective. Because it's like the main character is from the real world who just stepped into a world of total chaos. Like Alice in Wonderland. Apart from the main character, who is an American, it is really funny to see all the other actors in this film speak English with this over- exaggerated Russian accent, hence the name of the movie - 'Botched', taken from the English word 'butched'.Definitely is not one of the greatest movies ever. Actually, even pretty dumb at times. But absolutely hilarious if you just sit back, do not take it for a serious movie, but rather enjoy the entertaining comedy of it. Shouold make most comedy lovers laugh.
trashgang When I saw the cover on the DVD for the first time it didn't do anything, I thought it was on to throw away. Man, was I wrong. After seen some reviews it was time to watch it. Didn't watched the summary on the back of the DVD box so it came as a surprise. It starts off with a robbery and things get wrong when an accident occurred. Still nothing to mention, then the main lead got a new assignment, get a cross in Moscow. So far nothing happens, but what happens next is to say the least funny. But the fun ends when a hostage has to be released, things got wrong, and the blood flows, and it flows. Sometimes in a gory way because it's supposed to be a comedy. All actors are believable and they all have their failures to laugh about. Some viewers complained about the storyline but don't worry, even as it is a bit stupid it works really well, because at the end of the day, it's still a comedy. I've seen, and as you knew me, the uncut version. Go get yourself a copy, you will be surprised what goes wrong.
Claudio Carvalho 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")
