As everyone else says in their reviews, this film owes a big debt to John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. Well, if you're going to borrow, borrow from the best. So, no, this doesn't score many points for originality, but this taut, stripped down actioner is a thoroughly entertaining film in its own right.

Nikki Amuka-Bird is superb in the main role - as she always is - and lends great depth to the police officer character she plays. All the way through, you feel her fear and tension as the situation spirals out of control, and are fully with her as she fights to survive against the odds.

The action scenes are very well done, and there are enough twists and turns to keep things moving along nicely. Most of the other characters are fairly thinly drawn, but this doesn't really matter, and at around 90 minutes there is no excess flab.

I don't think this set the world on fire when it first came out, but it's a hidden gem of a movie that deserves to be more widely seen. Much better than most bloated blockbusters that cost ten times as much!

Violent and action-packed film about a police station surrounded by ominous hired killers. A rousing action film with an acceptable cast , thrills and lots of violence. Concerning a police woman, Deputy Tabby Temple (Nikki Amuka-Bird), and her son Monty (Zack Morris) find shelter in the sleepy police station. Meantime, Chief Deputy Dennis Bailey (Chris Reilly ) and Sheriff Eddie Reynolds (Simon Kunz) are doing their job of stopping a dangerous criminal. Trapped and without backup, a small town cop fights for her life when her remote sheriff's office is targeted by murderous attackers. The policewoman has just assumed the police station. Then the Police station is suddenly under siege and itself surrounded by a heavily super-armed band. When a supposed locksmith breaks into the sheriff's office after a robbery, Officer of the Law Tabby, injured and alone in the station, must defend the place with only a broken gun, a shoddy surveillance system and a police radio for communication with the outside world. A police woman with a war on his hands !. The lethal henchmen that swore a blood oath to destroy the precinct ... and every cop in it! . His enemy... an army of hired killers. The deadliest gang just declared war on the cops !. His only ally... a convicted delinquent. A White Hot Night of Hate!

A tense and vibrant siege thriller, with nods to the classic ¨John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13¨ that was also a homage to ¨Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo¨. It stars a brave agent who tries to defend her remote and isolated sheriff's office from a group of armed invaders. This thrilling film captures the special excitement or mood of paranoia that those under siege live for the night and it will appeal to action movies lovers. Psychosis abounds when the patrolwoman and a prisoner are attacked from all sides and can see no way out making desperate tryings to flee. An unlikely partnership between a Patrol Officer, a criminal and a teen to defend a precinct office against a siege by a bloodthirsty contract killers. The movie has maximum tension , noisy action , emotion and thriller from the subsequent attempts by the violent stalkers to enter in the station and the besieged to survive or getaway for prevention of the seemingly inevitable final . From the initiation of the movie to the end, noisy action-packed and suspense are unstopped . A very thrilling storyline through a much-copied plot and passable casting make this one, well worth watching . The picture is a sui-generis adaptation of the acclaimed Howard Hawks film, the classic starred by John Wayne and Dean Martin : Howard Hawks' ¨Rio Bravo¨ and the subsequent remakes ¨ El Dorado¨ and ¨Rio Lobo¨, that were developed in a besieged jail defended by a tough John Wayne and helped by a misfit bunch . And it was remade as ¨John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13¨(1976) with Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston, Laurie Zimmer, Tony Burton; and¨Assault on Precinct 13¨ (2005) by Jean Francois Richet with Ethan Hawke ,Laurence Fishburne , Gabriel Byrne , Maria Bello , Drea de Matteo , John Leguizano.

The motion picture was professionally directed by Will Gilbey. He's a newcomer director but a notorious editor, such as: White Island, The Chamber, Golden Years , Angel, Assassin, ABCs of Death 2 (2014) . This British director had previously only directed: Blood, Sweat and Terrors , segment Turncoat (2018). Jericho Ridge (2023) rating: 6/10. The film will appeal to thriller enthusiasts.

Well that is actually only one police member who walks "funny" - limping for reasons as you will find out! No pun intended - stuff happens and that also in one of those things that ... well happened and helps elevate and further down the suspense we will have watching this.

This obviously is larger than life, yet there is at least some degree of reality that you can find here. A movie and a thriller, but it does tend to its characters and the script is well written (or tight if you prefer that term). We have mostly a one location setup - and while we are there .. a lot of things are going to happen. Some violence and also explicit one - so just be aware of that, if that bothers you or not ... really well done, cinematography, sound design, acting, script ... well I could list many things I suppose ... John Carpenter would be proud ...

The story has been told many times: A siege of a police station. Where have you heard that before? Unfortunately, there is no other way, but this film has to be measured against the classic Assault on Precinct 13 by John Carpenter. And unfortunately it falls short compared to the 1976 original (and even compared to the 2005 remake).

There are attempts to introduce some (insignificant) subplots, but ultimately it is only about the said siege.

And here a few peculiarities are noticeable: firstly, there is the almost complete lack of weapons (we are talking about a station that is not supposed to be abandoned). Then the main character has full access to the Internet and telephone...but instead of moving heaven and earth to get help...No, she probably doesn't think of such things.

Finally, we have the main character who is severely handicapped by a leg injury...it is actually doubtful that such a person would be reinstated as fit for duty...even for a desk job.
