Just watched Assualt on Precinct 13, it has been put together by the people behind Training Day. Now I was surprised by this flick, it is way better than the reviews I had read lead me to believe. The combination of action and suspense, and A* cast is just right. Fishburne is his usual cool self, playing the crime lord that can put away a bunch of crooked cops. Hawke plays a convincing ex-undercover cop who is hiding away behind a desk job at a small suburban precinct.
Hawke, some colleagues, some inmates and Fishburne get caught in a siege in the precinct on New Year’s Eve. Thanks to a group of bad cops lead by Gabriel Byrne. A little formulaic perhap but a good action film, it doesn’t matter if you have or have not seen the original.
