I really liked this film. It was one of the best films i've watched in a while. The action was good, characters were good. Fighting scenes were great, keeping you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Could be watched by a female as not real gorey. Great twist at end. Loved it!

Ethan Hawke takes the lead as Sergeant Jake Roenick, a burnt-out cop babysitting a secluded and near-deserted Detroit police station on its last night of service. With notorious gangster Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne) in its holding cell, Jake experiences a world of trouble as the station is then attacked by an army of dirty cops desperate to kill Bishop before he can blow the lid on their years of wrongdoing. To cover their tracks, says ringleader Gabriel Byrne, they're going to have to kill everybody inside. Every cop in the precinct and every criminal too. To survive, they're going to have to put aside their differences and work together, which basically means everyone, even the crack addict (John Leguizamo), gets a gun. But not if Jake can help it, breaking out the heavy artillery and arming every able-bodied person in the place with the means to blow the bad guys away. Outnumbered with inferior firepower, it's a desperate struggle for survival that costs both sides a lot of blood.
Tense, involving and incredibly exciting, Assault on Precinct 13 is easily one of the best action thrillers you'll see this year. An awesome update of a classic original.

I must admit, this is a very good film. It was exactly as I expected to be like. A must get film! Laurence Fishburne played a very good role and I think that his character suited the film very well.
