Home to roost.
By adiw from Leicestershire , 07 Aug 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
A familiar theme this. The French take on Assault on Precinct 13, directed by the helmer of Hostage and starring Sammy Naceri of 'Taxi' fame. That would be the original French version of course, the less said about the American version the better.
Very few pictures follow the all out action route these days but The Nest has it by the truck load... big guns, big explosions, you get the idea.
The opening act sets the scene slowly but it isn't long before the first of many blistering shoot outs come your way.
The cast all do a fine job though it has to be said that with so many characters, very few of them are given the opportunity to shine. Character development certainly wasn't top of the list with this production. Thankfully though it is directed with style to spare and incredibly watchable from beginning to end as the script throws in a few curve balls along the way. And the odd grenade just be sure.
It wont change your life but there's plenty of bang for your, er, pound.- Was this review helpful to you?

Assault on The Nest
By a customer from Glasgow , 05 Dec 2008Literally hordes (hundreds) of suicidal faceless goons face off against a group of cops and robbers in an attempt to free an Albanian mafia head being transported to trial, but ending up in a large warehouse in the middle of an industrial estate after the initial rescue attempt goes awry.
Very similar to Carpenter's original Assault on Precinct 13 - and even more so than the official Hollywood remake. If you loved that film (and I do) you'll absolutely love this one as well.
Recommend without hesitation.- Was this review helpful to you?
