Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

 The Story: Run-down Precinct 13 is about to close its door forever. But everything changes when some of Detroit's most lethal prisoners arrive. Soon, the only thing more dangerous than the criminals on the inside is the rouge gang on the outside. To survive the night, two men on opposite sides of the law will have to work together to battle an enemy who doesn't follow the code of cop or criminal (from back of dvd box)

Yes, this is a remake of a John Carpenter film. No, I haven't seen it.

Five reasons to watch this movie

5.  It's an action junkie's dream: shoot-outs, damsels in distress, explosions, chases and double crosses.

4. Good concept. I like the whole, criminals bring the fight to the cops thing. Makes it different from most cop dramas.

3. Amazing cast. John Leguizamo always gives good crack head. Flashpoint fans see if you recognize Hugh Dillon (super love him!)

2. It's a fast movie. Perfect for a small bladder and short attention span.

1. Lawrence Fishburne is a BAMF.
       He lights some dude on fire, and I like it.
