Assault on Precinct 13

2005-Action
Prison Month is at Hand!

The first film we started the month off with we decided to go legitimate. I thought that this film would be the 'Standard' film on which we base other films this month on. Unfortunately it was only Tomsovic and I (Tomsovic only viewed the 1st half leaving me with the rest to witness on my own).

Synopsis:
Precinct #13 is going to close down at midnight new years eve. Unfortunately a Hardened Criminal (Lawrence Fishburne) is in transport to the county jail awaiting for trial for a possible plea-bargain for and easier sentence. Due to weather conditions, the Criminal and other convicts are forced to hole up in the soon to be closed down Precinct. But the police and the outside world would like to silence Fishburne before he can testify on trial blowing one of the hottest Police Scandals ever.

All-in-All:
This film was difficult to watch, seriously. Once the plot twist is made known, the rest of the film was a survival till morning situation. Throw in 'i cant trust you' syndrome and that's what you get. The acting was horrible, and forced, directing was standard at best, and the pacing was extremely questionable giving you random scenes that didn't lead to anywhere.

Riko's Rating: D+
