Assault on precinct 13 (2005) (1979)

Most of the people who have seen these movie will most likely agree with me when I say that the original was better than the remake, lets take a look.


Assault on precinct 13 (1976) - ****
In this unforgettable thriller we see how it should be done once again by John carpenter (writer and director). The powerful L.A. gang street thunder is now out on a mission of revenge after a father kill a gang member to revenge his daughter, after running into a near by precinct the power is cut and lieutenant Ethan Bishop must now protect 2 prisoner and 2 workers in the precinct until backup arrives, we can see great character development throughout the movie and a friendship develops between Bishop and prisoner Napoleon Wilson.

Assault on precinct 13 (2005) - ***
Although I was very entertained by this remake of the classic thriller, it lacked suspense unlike the original, will much louder not so subtle music and more action, although the plot was very good and the character development and friendship was also very good, due to lack of suspense I must say this movie didn’t manage surpass the original, very entertaining and worth watching many times but not as good as the original.

Do you agree with me, tell me what you think.
