ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (2004) (2004)

Cast

Plot

Precinct 13 is facing its last night as an active police station, only a skeleton staff is kept on, but then nobody is expecting any trouble, and as a blizzard rages outside everyone settles down for an uneventful evening. A prison bus, no longer able to cope with the weather conditions pulls up to the precinct, and discharges a motley selection of prisoners, one of them a recently convicted high profile ganglord. What follows is a lethally one sided siege, convicts and cops forced into an uneasy alliance as a heavily armed crew descend on the precinct determined to make sure that the ganglord never makes the mistake of naming his silent partners. A loose remake of John Carpenter's cult movie of the same name, Assault on Precinct 13 is a tense pacey and gritty action thriller.
