Assault on Precint 13. 2005.
A police sergeant must rally the cops and prisoners in his station when corrupt cops sorround the building on New Years Eve with the intent to kill them all including a gangster.
Decent remake of the John Carpenter 76 movie, with a same take on the plot but different outland on the seige which will remain a classic. Ethan Hawke plays the Sergeant bound by oath to serve and protect those around him. Laurence Fishburne plays the tough gangster who holds the secret of the corrupt policemen. Gabriel Byrne plays the leader of the police with the intent of letting no one survive by any means necessary. Jean-François Richet does a decent job directing and managing to create some suspense but with a twist being introduced early in the film.
