Great Film: Assault on Precinct 13
An exciting, violent action film!
Now, before you criticize me, I have never seen the original John
Carpenter version of this film. Being a huge fan, I really should see
it, and after seeing this remake, I will definitely track down the
original to see if it is as good as this film. I had a blast!
New Years in Detroit, a cold winter's morning as Precinct 13 prepares
to close it's doors and move to a new building. There are only three
people in the building on New Year's Eve, and as a storm draws closer,
a criminal being transported to a maximum security center is re-routed
to the deserted precinct. Only, there are some other people that would
like to get closer to the villain.
Very exciting story and excellent acting by both Ethan Hawke and
Laurence Fishbourne take this action over the edge. Some people may
find the film ultra violent, but violence on the big screen never
bothered me, so I enjoyed it quite a lot! Definitely worth a look for
action fans, and fans of the original who are curious. However, those
that are disturbed by violent images, would like to steer clear of this
film.
