Review of Assault on Precinct 13

'Assault' is an extremely violent action movie.The good guys are the bad guys,and the bad guys are the good guys.Fishburne, is the centerpiece of the movie as the infamous, heartless hoodlum who does have a heart after all.Hawke,the policeman, redeems himself from his previous undercover mission gone awry.He was wallowing in self pity,and self blame over the deaths of his comrades in that previous failed assignment.Fishburnes displays loads of life wisdom though he has a heavy criminal history.He challenges Hawke to resurrect himself as a the team leader.Hawke comes out of his shell to lead the group against the army of rogue cops bent on breaking FISHBURNE out of jail.The situation was as desperate as the Alamo.The characters in the precinct building are very diverse and interesting.The final scenes are true to the movies story line.A trail of death,destruction, betrayal,surprises, all make the movie very interesting.Young kids and squeamish people should not see this film.For everyone else it is an excellent shoot 'em up, bang, bang, movie.
