I mean, there were a lot of implausible things that happened in the movie, but what film these days aren't rife with implausibility's? I didn't think the overall acting was that bad. Sure, there were many images on display that one has seen before in Biblical-type horror movies, but they were well presented here.Truth be told, like a lot of flicks I watch, I don't bother to research in depth what it's all about. All I knew going into "Cell 213" was that it was a horror film. I'd even forgotten about the fact that it was supposed to be some kind of factious exposition between God and the Devil. At least it wasn't preachy. That would've brought the ratings way down. I recommend this flick. Could've better, could've worse. Mileage may vary.

Holy hell! I was not expecting the movie to be this good! Clever movie, with a few shocks, a few twists, and just the right amount of violence, insanity, and madness to make this probably the greatest horror/thriller I've seen in a very long time. First of all, forget about the low rating, it's obvious to me that people just do not have an appetite for well made films that involve great cinematography when they see that a film is suppose to be, what they would expect, a horror movie. Yes, this is a horror movie. However, it is more of a psychological horror, a very disturbing, intricately laced horror. I gave this a high rating for several reasons, and I cannot discuss the main reason without spoiling the key points ( not to mention the main plot) of the film. The script is excellent, the dialog is crisp, and the sensation overall is believable. It's not perfect, there's a few flaws, a few plot holes, and at least one scene where I was thinking : "Now, wait a minute. If...ya ya ya..." Can't tell you. I highly recommend watching this, if your looking for a slick, scary, messed up psychological horror film, please rent this, I don't think you will be disappointed.

It started out good, and gave me some clues as in it could be even better. For a while there, it did do so, but then it reached half point.Disaster! You lose interest, the movie becomes fuzzy, unclear, some pointless scenes, some plot holes and as another user said, what a disappointing finale...Cell 213 is as underground as possible, even tho it has quite a distribution, some good actors in it, but the plot never gave them a chance. Will not recommend it, not even for a horror junkie.Cheers!

Total waste of time. Cinematography was good, the ending was terrible.....no closure, no answers, no real resolution. There had better not be a second one as it can only get worse from here. The premise of the movie was pretty cool and had a lot of potential. I feel like the writers at the end of the script just wanted to end it. Like I said, the only thing that was really disappointing was the ending and lack of closure. There is no background history with anyone, especially the culprits involved in the evilness of prison. It's entertaining at least due to the violence and almost believable cast. The side stories were weak to say the least. When the credits started to roll I'm not gonna lie, I was just shocked that it lacked a resolution to an almost 2 hour movie. Total bag of BS. Other than that, enjoy folks!
