Michael Ledo 12 people who appear to be already dead are placed together in a room where they must judge the most guilty and most innocent, with only one getting a "second chance." They must kill someone every 12 minutes or else it will be done for them, which would have been my one and only option. Some of the people are a preacher, Air Force member, robber, CEO, lawyer, cop, banker, mom etc. all the usual suspects. Their stories were pretty bad and their story telling was worse. The acting was sad all around as I was hoping they would all die slow horrible deaths. A rather pointless film.Difficult to sit through. Doesn't work as a rental.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

stingstungme ..was the rating on another movie site. That isn't the one I give it. When I saw 5.9, I figured it would be a decent movie at minimum. After the third or fourth spoken line, I paused the movie and checked the rating. The acting was that freaking bad. It said 5.9/10. I returned to the movie. I figured it would get better.I checked the spoiler box so if you missed it, you have one last chance to flee.When part of the group was released at the beginning, I thought to myself, "Oh they are getting rid of the bad actors. I won't have to see them again. The movie is really going to start rolling!" WRONG! The released group was taken to a private room and we would spend the rest of the movie TRAPPED with them.When it was revealed they had to kill off one another, I erroneously assumed they would kill off the worst actors first. Wrong yet again.If you haven't picked up on it yet, the movie is filled with bad acting. The only believable actor was the preacher (Thomas Howell). Everyone else was bad. Some ridiculously worse than others.When a movie fails, people discuss why so. Some say it was the acting and others will say it was the story or the lines. With this I can honestly say it was both. If you replaced these actors with Oscar winners, the movie would still fail because the dialogue sucks. There is nothing there.What makes things worse is that we never hear each person's story. How can you figure out who is the guiltiest when you don't know why most are there? It seemed as though there was quite a few innocents.The basic idea behind this was interesting but that's all.

gerry barnaby Film Reviewer Likes : The entire premise of The Devil's Dozen is pretty obvious to anyone who's a fan of portmanteau horror, twelve disparate strangers are thrown together in a room and must recount their past misdeeds. The gimmick here is that someone must be killed every twelve minutes and it's up to the group to ensure the sole survivor is the most righteous one. This has that tale of the crypt keeper feel to it but it not a brilliant film or an Oscar winner, with the ending it show it also has that film devil concept to it, but this is one film I wouldn't rush out to buy on DVD. It is how ever a DVD you should rent first before paying out the price in the store for it, because it wasn't the greatest film to watch has this type of film has been done some many time there getting old.Dislikes : Where do I start, the subplot to the script is seriously poor in telling the story because there is not back story of any reason given than the fact they have to kill each other, the actor was OK but it wasn't brilliant, there was a few actor that weren't convincing at all it felt wooden at time like they've fresh out of acting school or still students of acting.The fact that the story is they have to kill each other in 12 minutes you don't get to feel or get a feeling for the characters because there no time to real get to know them & what they've done to realise why their there.it a very poor written film in script the concept is good but I think it could of been better.

Jason Melvil I'm personally a huge fan of these type of movies, the "people trapped in a room" sort of thing (saw, cube, exam, would you rather, truth or die, nine dead etc). But this movie? Not so much.I get that it's a low budget movie and I really wasn't expecting much, but still this movie fails to deliver on every level. Bad filming, bad acting, bad set you name it. But the worst of all is the script.There isn't anything good I can say about it.The characters are so generic and boring they literally have no name. Seriously, check the cast credit and you'll see most of them don't have a name.The premise is flawed to begin with. 12 people are being told that every 12 minutes one of them must die until only 1 will be left. They say something in the beginning about identifying one of them but since that clearly isn't the case (some of them die totally random right at the beginning) and as the movie progresses it's completely disregarded. They start talking to each other and say why they are horrible people and deserve to die. Seriously? Why? Wouldn't that be the last thing you'd do? and why wouldn't they assume anyone would lie? And either way, the entire point is that they are going to die anyway, so either they should have simply waited their time or they should have gone on the offensive and started killing each other.Just waiting around and talking us to death makes no sense except the director had to waste an hour and half worth of a movie.Nothing really happens, just a bunch of pointless talking that doesn't really progress the plot.Last but not least is the twist in the end. I won't spoil it, but I'll just say it really wasn't worth it. It wasn't that much of a twist nor is it really that interesting and certainly not worth waiting an hour and half for.TLDR:Don't waste your time on this, you can find something far better to watch.
