Ridiculous high concept B list action film
If you're looking for a deep, well-paced, original action film with twists that you don't see coming - then this definitely is not the film for you.
Strong female lead, has a hard life and works as a sheriff's deputy in a small town.
Following a very convoluted, yet obvious plot involving her dead beat son, she is forced to fight for her life when criminals descend on her police station. Yes, it's a discount remake of assault on precinct 13.
Just about the whole films is shot in the police station, which was most likely done for budgetary reasons.
The main problem is the convenience of the timeline. The attackers pause whenever they are needed to. They literally disappear for minutes at a time while the main characters wade through the plot exposition only to return as soon as they're done.
The others problems (in no particular order are): Plot armour, some characters are literally unkillable.
The main character's son's and main bad guy's American accents are TERRIBLE
The entirely predictable ending.
The way cameras etc cut out at the critical moment
The marksmanship on display would make stormtroopers blush.
The weapon handling would make Alec Baldwin blush
The back up showing up right after everything is over.
There are more, but you get the picture.
Given my time again, I wouldn't bother, but it's up to you.
