Not so much a remake as a riff on an old familiar plot: The fort is surrounded, and the defenders have to fight off the attackers and deal with possible traitors in their midst […]. There are, however, a few plot points that confused me [but] just ignore those technicalities, and concentrate on such delightful synchronicities as that John Wayne played characters named both Ethan and Hawk.

For what it is, Assault on Precinct 13 delivers. James Berardinelli
