The reason why I hated 12 the most is because 1) the audience isn't really in on things. You just get to watch them go through, as was mentioned, a number of European cliches and their motivation was simply survival. And 2) you got the sense they weren't having a lot of fun with it. Even the pieces that should have been fun (like Julia Roberts as Tess having to pretend to be Julia Roberts) just fell flat.
11 and 13 you really got behind the characters, whether to take down Benedict or to get revenge for Reuben.
