Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

Posted on 05:10 by john cena
Cautiously Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: Jean-François Richet
Writers: James DeMonaco, John Carpenter
Cinematographer: Robert Gantz
Composer: Graeme Revell
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne, Gabriel Byrne, Maria Bello, Drea de Matteo, John Leguizamo, Brian Dennehy, Jeffrey 'Ja Rule' Atkins, Currie Graham

This mildly entertaining remake of Carpenter’s film suffers in comparison to the original by taking itself rather too seriously, but it’s well enough made with some decent performances, Hawke’s being typically eye-catching, but Fishburne’s turn is restrained to the point of paralysis. Iain.Stott
