The new version of "Assault on Precinct 13"
Now, I can't rate it compared to the original Carpenter film...which I still intend to see, I can only assume it wasn't quite as good.
However, I thought this one was quite ok...clearly it copped a lot of shit on account of being a remake of sorts, but yeah, I had no huge problem with it.
The violence was pretty graphic in parts, in fact, I was wondering how they managed to keep an MA15+ rating on it here, there were some really bloody scenes (the icicle, the knife under the chin...etc) I thought the first scene was great, very chaotic and cool...The characters...eh, who cares...nothing special in an action film, although I do hate that stupid looking Ja Rule fucker...as predicted, his acting wasn't much better than his music. There were some great action sequences, some good music, and the camerawork worked well for the intensity of certain scenes.
All in all, It was ok...I watched it, but I wouldnt run out and buy it or anything.
