It is New Year s Eve, and this police precinct is holding on by a
thread, threatened with permanent closure due to budget constraints.
With nothing more than a bare-bones operation to back him up, Detective
Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke) must take on a deadly mob of criminals
who have thrown down the gauntlet and are openly hunting down a heinous
kingpin (Laurence Fishburne) in a battle for street sovereignty.
Roenick must turn to other prisoners to assist him in keeping themselves
alive as well as holding on to the police station. Jean Richet
(Mesrine & Public Enemy #1 (2003 edition in foreign language) directs
this movie and it is his best work thus far as a director. Still it
is only a average to good movie, however, if you like action or adventure
movies - This one should be to your liking and give you a good evening
of viewing--especially if you get it at a reduced Ebay price.Read full review
i have seen this movie on tv before, and know that i got it i can watch it over and over again. the movie has a great starting point, climax, and ending. you should be able to understand it completely, my 7 year old nephew was able too.
Very good movie with a few twists from the old version. I really enjoyed it.
The action is good and the end is not given away early.
The movie was clean and played very well on my machines...
