Customer Reviews of Assault on Precinct 13 (UMD Mini For PSP)
Second Assault Assault on Precinct 13 ('05) compares with Assault on Precinct 13 ('76) only in concept. The former is a big budget, star-studded, cop drama while the latter is a lower budget, gritty, near remake of Night of the Living Dead using gang members in place of zombies. While the old John Carpenter film might loose certain viewers due to its slow, deliberate pacing, it has remained a classic because of its many layers and subtext. For the new Richet version, a dramatic cop vs. gang boss plot has been stamped in and all layers, subtext, and richness tossed out. However, the stamped in plot is pretty well put together, with its weakest most forgettable moment installed as a preface (haven't filmmakers realized that prefaces and flashbacks almost always signal a script problem?). The preface serves as bad character motivation for Ethan Hawke's Sergeant Roenick. Go get your popcorn after the opening previews and miss the `undercover blues' setup as to why Roenick turns into a pill-popping loser only to save the day by the end. That aside, the film works as an action romp. The shoot-outs are good, tension always fills the air, and there are even a few zombie references: the bad guys take multiple hits and just keep coming, they are all suited in such a way as to be stripped of individuality, and some of the gorier kills hearken back to the Romero classics. Byrne and Freeman are fun to watch, as both take their roles coolly, using smallness rather than the over the top bigness that Hawke uses (not that effectively). John Leguizamo and Ja Rule play throw away characters, and that's exactly what happens to them (and you won't be disappointed when it happens, believe me.) So, while it's no cop/horror/masterpiece... it is a fun Saturday night action flick.
It's scraping average - not the best, not horrible
It's an action movie that won't be as good as the previews made it look. Other reviews say "The best movie ever by far" and things like that - well, maybe they're used to movies like Relic, Narc, and Kiss of the Dragon. Compared to them, sure the movie is good. But next to top rate action thrillers like The Recruit, Bourne Identity/Supremecy, Terminator movies, etc. it just feels like an average trek through action territory.

>At leaste the guy from the Matrix renewed his name a bit - his stunt on the tanker Biker Boyz looked like it could have been his last role. Hawke is fine for the part, as is Ja Rule for Smiley. The cast fits the parts, but the movie overall fails to leave a lasting effect. The end is very cut and dry, let's wrap this up style. Cliche, immediate "semi - happy ending" (somewhat happy ending, but no spoilers here so I won't be specific) with a twist of mystery.
