On New Year's Eve, inside a police station that's about to be closed for good, officer Jake Roenick must cobble together a force made up cops and criminals to save themselves from a mob looking to kill mobster Marion Bishop.
A police sergeant must rally the cops and prisoners together to protect themselves on New Year's Eve, just as corrupt policeman surround the station with the intent of killing all to keep their deception in the ranks.
First off, the "original" other film critics keep referring to is actually a remake, itself. John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" is really a remake of an older western entitled simply, "Rio Bravo." So while everyone keeps whining about remakes, let it be known that they have always remade older works. Always.
At any rate, as far as remakes go, this one is a tad better than decent. Not surprisingly, it surpasses neither of the originals in atmosphere, content, and execution. However, it is still quite well put together and very enjoyable. Having been built around Carpenter's solid plot, there are some new innovations used as "industrial siding" all around the outer edges. While some elements were shaky, it had the solidity of Carpenter's previous work to stabilize it.
I won't detail the plot as that has been done repeatedly here at IMDb, but suffice it to say that it remains fairly faithful to the source materials, without giving us a blow by blow carbon copy of either previous versions.
Action fans will find this a delight, and those who are fans of police dramas will also find it interestingly entertaining. Those among the audience in my hometown theater were enthralled. We aren't a town of demonstrative people; there aren't many walk outs, and the occasions where there is applause are few and far between. There were instances of neither for this event.
Carpenter fans, however, may be a bit affronted by this work.
All in all, this was a fun cinematic experience with superb direction, amazing vision, and some great execution.
Featured are some surprise "kills," peppered with predictable turns. It was unfortunate, in my opinion, that they chose to make create their "street gang" out of corrupt police officers. It did make me appreciate Carpenter's version all the more. I missed the now infamous "Ice Cream Scene."
But it was still quite enjoyable.
"Without pause, without regard."
It rates a 7/10 from...
the Fiend :.
John Carpenter's original "Assault on Precinct 13" was a film that should have been left alone. This remake, directed by Jean Francois Richet, is not without its merits, but in the end, it leaves us wishing it was better.
We are given the situation that four prisoners, one of them a powerful drug dealer, are being taken from a court building to a holding facility. Because of the bad weather, it's decided, at the last minute, to have these guys taken to the old Precinct 13, which is closing.
What appears to be a simple job of locking up these bad guys, turn out to be one of the most violent situations seen in movies in 2005. At first, we are led to believe the black SUVs following the transport bus are people that are trying to free Marion Bishop, the powerful criminal that doesn't want to be in jail. We keep thinking it makes sense, until we realize, these people that are trying to storm the precinct, want Bishop, because he is a dangerous man who will testify in court against them. These people are higher ups in the Detroit's police department.
The film is highly entertaining and will keep anyone involved following all what's being seen. The violence is too much to watch, at times. Ultimately, Roenick, the young police sergeant, emerges as the one that deals a heavy blow to the people that are trying to kill him.
Ethan Hawke does good work with his take of Roenick. Equally effective, Laurence Fishburne, who plays the bad guy, Marion Bishop. Gabriel Byrne, Maria Bello, Brian Dennehy, John Leguizamo, Drea DeMatteo, and the rest of the cast make a valuable contribution to the success of the movie.
Fans of this film genre will probably compare this remake against the original one, and while this one is not as satisfying, it will not bore anyone.
A surprisingly credible action flick.
