Synopsis: Michael Mann teams up with William Monahan and a incredibly diverse cast to make one of the most thrilling films in years! In this American remake of "13 Tzameti", the story begins with Vincent Beere (Patrick Wilson) finding an invitation to a "event" in a dead man's mail. He becomes curious, and embarks on a journey of clues. These clues eventually lead him to the middle of the desert, where he learns of a new game. The rules are simple, 47 men get into a large circle of sorts, and hold a gun to the man's head in front of them. Everyone has a six-shooter gun, and start out with one bullet. Process of elimination eventually brings 47 down to 2. The one man who doesn't have a bullet in his head at the end, wins. And just when you think you have figured out who will win, they are the next to go. This amazing thriller directed by Michael Mann, is a pulse-pounding thriller, that will truly go down as a rare remake that is better than the original.
What the press would say:
"Amazing!" - Newsweek
"Electrifying!" - Time
"Brilliant! I've never seen anything like this before, and I never will. A+!" - Entertainment Weekly
"The film to beat at this years Academy Awards!" - New York Times
"I saw 13 Tzameti when it first premiered. While it had beautiful cinematography and convincing acting, I never felt that the main character had a chance of losing. But in this remake of 13, "47", takes this security and throws it out of the window. At the beginning of the film, I had a feeling that Vincent Beere would be the man to beat, but the fact he is killed in the second round leaves you shocked and bewildered. What continues is both a gripping thriller and a effective human drama. One would think that the large amount of characters would be confusing, and even frusturate viewers, but in 47, the main thirteen characters stories work remarkably. Paul Rizzo (Brian Cox) the "referee" of the games, goes through guilt, classifying himself as a executioner. Charles (played by an intense Christian Bale) enters the contest in hopes to kill the stone-wall Christian Erwolter (played by Mads Mikkelsen who is cold as ice) who defeated his older brother years earlier. Timothy (Gerard Butler) enters hoping to make enough money to pay off a ransom to get his daughter back from psychotic kidnappers. Sean Muglia (Leonardo DiCaprio) and David Schwartz (Ryan Gosling) join to for their families reputations made by this game. But the best preformance comes from Christopher Walken, who takes a role that he's been making fun of for years, and turns it into one of the greatest villian roles in movie history. This film is a shoe-in for the acting categories, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was nominated for every major category. When you walk into the theater, get ready for the most thrilling experience of the year."
