Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

Assault on the original Assault

A busy remake with plentiful amounts of skilled tension, but eventually it succumbs to generic action nonsense, arbitrary plot twists and the following cliches: the "forgotten and convenient" escape tunnel, the retiring cop, the minority villains and a ringleader with no emotion. It's a mixed bag, and definitely not as good as John Carpenter's original film. Final Grade: C+
