⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Off-kilter originality shines through in the familiar heist gone wrong plot. After a car accident leaves his partners dead and the stolen diamonds scattered in traffic, a professional thief (Stephen Dorff) is sent by his boss (Sean Pertwee) to steal a historical artifact from a penthouse in Moscow. Ritchie (Dorff) and two Russian brothers manage to break in and steal the piece but when the elevator malfunctions, they and a handful of other folks are let off on the thirteenth floor. Uncooperative hostages turn out to be the least of their problems when they slowly come to realize the twin descendants of Ivan the Terrible are bloodily dispatching all the poor saps unfortunate enough to find themselves trapped on the thirteenth floor. The balletic psychopath dressed up as Ivan slaughters with glee as his twin sister looks for the proper sacrifice to appease their lord. Nothing really goes the way you think it will and everything plays out with a certain zany vibe that may be off-putting at first but soon won me over. The violence is over the top and super wet. A damn fine time.
