Assault On Precinct 13
An LA police station is under siege by violent youth gangs rampaging out of control. A reworking of Rio Bravo, which starred John Wayne, and is much more than the usual 'blood and bullets' exploitation piece.

Assault On Precinct 13
Update of the 1976 action thriller of the same name. December 31st and soon Precinct 13, one of Detroit's oldest precinct houses, is closing. Amid heavy snowfall and unsafe road conditions, only a few lawmen remain on duty for New Year's Eve, led by Sergeant Jake Roenick, a good cop wrestling with bad memories of a fatal undercover op from the previous spring. When the formidable crime lord Marion Bishop, is captured by the Organized Crime and Racketeering squad, he is taken onto a prison bus with several criminals: junkie Beck, hustler Smiley, and gang member Anna. The weather conditions force the bus to stop short of its high-security destination and strands it at the remote Precinct 13. As night falls, the prisoners are temporarily incarcerated. Suddenly the bus comes under attack from masked gunmen. The cops look to the reluctant Roenick for leadership, and the cons, to the steely Bishop. They all realise that if they are to survive the night they must join forces...

Entertainment in Video Assault On Precinct 13 [2005]
Action buffs will have a fine time with the spray of bullets, shattering glass, and pyrotechnic silliness that makes up the bulk of <I>Assault on Precinct 13</I>. Updated from the little-known cops-and-robbers classic John Carpenter made in 1976 (two years before he made his name with <I>Halloween</I>), this high-concept thriller is mostly a lowbrow kill-fest, and is very happy with itself for being so efficient in both categories. A decrepit police station on its last night before retirement--New Year's Eve, no less--plays unexpected home to a gang of criminals who become snowbound in the basement lockup. Another mysterious gang of people who stealthily gather in the blizzard outside want one of the particularly nasty criminals (Laurence Fishburne) dead, and they'll take the rest of the precinct down too, by golly. The odd lot of characters trapped inside include a burned-out sergeant (Ethan Hawke), a sexpot secretary (post-<I>Sopranos</I& gt; Drea de Matteo), an even sexier police psychologist (Maria Bello), and various other good guys and bad guys who variously go down in blazes of guts, glory, bullets, and fire. Hawke and Fishburne are opposite sides of the coin: the law, and the bathroom scale. Their need to partner in order to survive the guns outside is the movie's moral conflict, and both actors chew on <I>Precinct 13</I>'s peeling walls and scuffed floors to drive the point home every chance they get. Obvious filmmaking fakery abounds in everything from the irksome snowstorm, frequent gunshots to the head, and a shadowy forest that conveniently presents itself in an industrial section of Detroit for the climactic showdown. No matter, this <I>Assault</I> is for non-thinkers who want blood and gunpowder, with no messy slowdowns for logic, please.<I>--Ted Fry</I>
