As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Ethan Hawke stars as a cop who has a bad cop experience, and has struggled with it mentally.

On New Years Eve, as his precint is about to be shutdown (retired), packed up, etc. a snowstorm hits, and a convict transport carrying a cop killer (Lawrence Fishbourne) and 3 other criminals gets diverted to Precint 13 due to the storm.

Per the title, there's an assault on the precint, and stuff starts happening.

Overall, a decent movie. I've never seen the original, so cannot compare it. The acting is decent, the cast is good, script aint too bad. Entertaining enough to watch, even if I weren't exercising.

6/10

The original kicked ass.
