Review of 13 Minutes

13 Minutes (2021)
6/10
Not a masterpiece, but not THAT bad as some commenters make it to be.
21 February 2022
The movie starts presenting normal people, living the normal life of inhabitants of the areas in the US where tornadoes can come and change your present and future. We learn about several characters, their stories, interactions, and then a tornado comes. This doesn't have scenes inside the storm like Twister, but close enough to give us an idea of how it is to be beating up by a tornado.

Why the very low ratings here? Because some people think problems like intolerance, lgbt issues, human rights, etc should be made political and not shown in a movie with another point of view from theirs. This page fell into some right-wing webpage and the flock came diligently to berate the movie and give it ridiculous low ratings, just that. Look at the clicks in "was this review helpful", they are joyfully yessing at each other. Pathetic.

If you come from another country with a broader perspective of life, do yourself a favor and watch the movie just expecting to learn about some personal stories and drama, with a big devastating storm in the middle, and you'll find it good enough to entertain you for an hour and a half. Not a masterpiece, but not as bad a some commenters make it to be.
