| Source of story | Loosely based on a 1976 film scripted by John Carpenter | ||
| Writer/s Script | James DeMonaco | ||
| Director | Jean-Francois Richet | ||
| Starring | Ethan Hawke, Lawrence Fisgburne, Gabriel Byrne, Maria Bello, Drea de Matteo, John Leguizamo, Brian Dennehy | ||
| Elevator Pitch | A police station manned by a retiring cop, a drug dependent sargeant and a secretary, which is about to be shut down is required to temporarily house a bus load of prisoners during a snow storm on New Year’s Eve. No problem then, except that one of the convicts is a gang boss with links to corrupt police. When the station is attacked those on both sides of the law are forced to work together to survive. | ||
| Content | The station is pretty constantly under attack by snipers and SWAT guys with night vision, so continous tension and frequent fire fights. People are killed on both sides. Quite a bit of swearing but no nudity, drinking, sex or drug taking. | ||
| A View | I’m with the 50% who liked this, although nothing is perfect and to say more would be a spoiler. A watch if you like competently constructed B movies, and be alert during the initial scene, it is riveting. | ||
