Assault on Precinct 13
2005
With nothing more than a bare-bones operation to back him up, detective Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke) must take on a deadly mob of criminals who have thrown down the gauntlet and are openly hunting down a heinous kingpin (Laurence Fishburne) in a battle for street sovereignty. Threatened with permanent closure due to budget constraints, Roenick's police precinct is holding on by a thread. But can his ragtag troop stop the bloodshed?

This remake succeeded in keeping the flavor of the original Assault on Precinct 13 while fixing the plot flaws. It has a great cast and a nice thriller pace with some violent streaks to liven things up a bit. Not spetacular, but a solid film.
