Assault On Precinct 13

I just saw this in the cinema as part of a double feature. It was good to see Lawrence Fishburne again and I actually enjoyed the movie save for one thing - it is riddled with profanity - I mean really riddled with it and it was rated 16 years and over in my country. I am sure it is probably 'R' in the USA. Of course profanity is so common these days (especially in my country) that one hardly flinches at the language anymore, but I still feel Hollywood can do without this trend.

Now, interestingly enough it seems that this movie is a remake of a 1976 version for which you can get more info here: Source 6

The 2005 version was entertaining and has many inner plots that you can quickly discover if you pay attention, but there are some parts that you do not expect and I can't say what it is... Or I will spoil it for you.

It was a very good movie, too much cursing though! Ethan Hawke was excellent and Mr. Leguizamo was also excellent!. Very intense movie.

Assault on Precinct 13 - 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, an even sexier police psychologist, 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 in an industrial section of Detroit for the climactic showdown.

Precinct Assault

Not a bad film. I thought they would handle things a bit differently but you know how these things go, there could be a hundred outcomes.
