Movie Review: Solid Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Assault on Precinct 13 [HD DVD], is a very good movie. It has a balance of action and suspense and is well done. The 2 main stars Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne give great performances, and so does the rest of the cast. If you liked Training Day, you should check this movie out. The bonus features were also interesting and very detailed so check those out as well.
Summary of Assault on Precinct 13 (Widescreen Edition)
A police sergeant must rally the cops and prisoners together to protect themselves on new years eve just as corrupt policeman surround the station with the intent of killing all to keep their deception in the ranks. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/06/2007 Starring: Ethan Hawke Harvey Keitel Run time: 109 minutes Rating: R Director: Jean-francois RichetAction buffs will have a fine time with the spray of bullets, shattering glass, and pyrotechnic silliness that makes up the bulk of Assault on Precinct 13. Updated from the little-known cops-and-robbers classic John Carpenter made in 1976 (two years before he made his name with Halloween), 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-Sopranos 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 Precinct 13'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 Assault is for non-thinkers who want blood and gunpowder, with no messy slowdowns for logic, please.--Ted Fry
