Reviews

kosmasp Well it's not a precinct and maybe assault is too much. But I'm talking about influence and it's obvious what the influences were. If not Carpenter than the western movies Carpenter was inspired by. But you don't have Cowboys and Indians here. You have different kind of guys, who try to get out (or is it in?).A very well though of french thriller, that is very tense and has a lot of action to hold your attention. And while this has quite a few western influences (as I wrote above), I was expecting an American remake anytime soon, after the movie came out. It didn't happen though, so you have to watch this. Which is not a bad thing. Because the movie is quite good and you have quite a few french stars in it too.

danniemcq Seen this on TV few nights ago and was blown away by it. although comparisons with assault on Assault on Precinct 13 are inevitable (damn big words don't mix with a hungover head sorry) it doesn't take away from the slick and cool stylings of this movie. i won't go into plots or any of that (i wanna go and sleep) but if you like action, stealth and even a little parkour this is for you.and don't worry about having to read th subtitles as even though they are there the movie isn't dialog heavy and even the bits that are subtitles are mainly short snappy points that get the message across quickly

mooveeee Best siege movie I've seen... felt like living out a game of Counterstrike! I think anyone who likes a good action movie will like this - don't let the French/subtitles put you off - there is not a huge amount of dialogue, so it doesn't detract much from the experience.The action is intense, but real - things explode, but only when it makes sense that they do - not like a Hollywood movie where one bullet will cause anything to burst into flame...Enough reading, go see it! (insert more lines to allow this to be seen) (insert more lines to allow this to be seen) (insert more lines to allow this to be seen) (insert more lines to allow this to be seen)

w.mager I love a good French actioner (The Transporter and the Taxi films being a case in point) so was looking forward to seeing this.I was a bit disappointed that it took so long for the situation to be set up. You already know from reading the DVD sleeve what the plot is going to be - yet it takes 30 minutes for the characters to arrive at the warehouse.The action direction had some good set pieces but was at times choppy and confusing - and the film ended rather abruptly.Still a very stylish and cool film - and I went straight out and bought the director's next film, Hostage starring Bruce Willis.
