13 Tzameti	comment	13 Tzameti is a 2005 French-Georgian thriller written, produced, and directed by Georgian filmmaker Géla Babluani.Sébastien is a Georgian immigrant living in France and doing odd jobs to support his family. He is repairing the roof of morphine addict Jean François, whom he overhears talking of a mysterious job that will get him a lot of money. When Jean François dies of an overdose before he can pay Sébastien, the latter steals an envelope sent to Jean François holding a train ticket and takes his place in the hope of getting the job himself. Unfortunately for Sébastien, the job involves being a contestant in a high-stakes game of Russian Roulette.In 2010, Babluani directed an American remake called 13, with Sam Riley playing the protagonist (now called Vince), and an All-Star Cast that includes Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Ray Winstone, Ben Gazzara, Alexander Skarsgård, 50 Cent, David Zayas, Emmanuelle Chriqui and MMA fighters Don Frye and Forrest Griffin.

13 Tzameti / int_3aec9e5e	comment	Properly Paranoid The gamblers take precautions against any of the players being tailed or turning informant. Sébastien is given a train ticket, but told to get off the train one stop before the station marked on the ticket, enabling him to avoid police surveillance waiting there. On arriving at the meeting place, he's searched thoroughly for a Hidden Wire, with the gangsters even removing his shoe heels in case there's a bug or tracking device there. Sébastien is worried something will happen to him, so mails the money to his family instead of taking it with him on the train. It's a wise precaution as he's picked up by the police, then shot and robbed of his bag by a vengeful player.

Their relationship is somewhat troubled — one brother caused the injury that disabled the other, and in the remake, he's kept in an expensive mental care facility, but the brother only visits when he needs his brother for the game. It's left ambiguous whether the surviving brother kills the protagonist out of revenge or greed.

Turns out he survives, so the guard tries to murder him for the map. The other guards intervene, whereupon Jefferson brandishes a blank sheet of paper to taunt him, claiming there never was any buried money. He then burns the genuine map once the guard is out of sight.

This means the player he's pointing a gun at has to stand there for what seems to him an eternity, waiting for the bullet to end his life. In the remake this player vows revenge in the next round, so he delays the moment of firing intending to make Vince suffer in turn. Instead he gets his brains blown out by the man behind him. It turns out afterwards his gun was loaded and if he'd fired straight away, Vince would be dead.

He's not inclined to trust these people so he legs it out a back window and makes his way to the station on foot. This helps sell his later story to the police that he'd spent the night hiding in the woods. Averted when the gamblers who recruited Jean François realise an imposter has taken his place. They worry Sébastien might be a police plant and consider fleeing, but realise if the police raid the place after they've fled it will look like they turned informant.
