"assault on my sanity"
Shane from Galway, 02 Jul 2007
I rented this expecting an entertaining night in. I should have gone out instead, nothing like what I expected. OK I didnt know what exactly to expect as I didnt know much about this film but I heard it was a good watch. I found it very hard to watch it through until the end. Very poor effort. Stay well away unless you like having you nights in ruined by absolute dribble!
Surprisingly enjoyable if not forgetable..

..I somehow found myself enjoying this action packed remake quite alot. The characters are likeable enough to keep your attention, and the violence is laid on thick and heavy.
Its still not a patch on the original, but atleast the filmmakers had enough sense to go their own way.
worth a rent if you need something that doenst require much from you.
Average action film.

This is a fairly average action film. The action sequences are well done, but the script is fairly weak. Fishburne and Hawk do okay with what they have got, but Gabriel Byrne is totally wasted in his role. Even the twists are predictable.
Fantastic

Some guy on Mastermind had this director as his specialist subject--as good a reason to add this film to our list as any! And I'm glad we did--a dramatic, tense, original and enjoyable thriller. A top-notch film.
If you ever had a lousy New Years Eve.....

If you ever had a lousy New Years Eve-13 is your lucky number!! It couldnt have possible been worst than what happened one Years Eve in Precinct 13. Watchable if nothing else on the Box.
