Movie Review- Assault on Precinct 13

Lexus · 02-02-2005, 10:56 PM

Action/Adventure and Crime/Gangster
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, Maria Bello, John Leguizamo, Drea de Matteo
1 hr. 49 min. During a snowy New Year's Eve, a mobster is temporarily incarcerated at Precinct 13, the soon-to-close police station. As the sun sets and a long night begins, a motley crew of policemen and prisoners reluctantly captained by a cop must band together to fight off a rogue gang that wants to free the mobster.

I thought the story line looked retarded but it is one of the best action movies I've seen lately. The plot listed above is not correct (the last sentence)... but I will not give away what happens thus the twist!

Ethan Hawke is an up and coming actor and cant wait to see more of his films.

Laurence Fishburne played an awesome and convincing mobster. There is a lot of blood, guts and violence. The special effects are spectacular! The movie gives off a vibe of realness.

Another good thing is it is a remake of John Carpenters Assault on Precinct 13. It is very well written. And although I have not seen the original this movie is outstanding.

I WOULD recommend it and I WOULD see it in theaters.
