Assault on Precinct 13

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) is a siege action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. It's New Year's Eve at a snowbound Detroit police station that's set to shut its doors for good in a matter of hours.

Sergeant Jake Roenick is killing time with a skeleton crew when a blizzard reroutes a prison bus to his precinct. One of the inmates is Marion Bishop, a mob figure that a squad of masked gunmen wants dead. Phones are down, backup isn't coming. So the cops do the unthinkable: they hand weapons to the prisoners and defend the building side by side. Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne play two men from opposite sides of the bars who have to trust each other until dawn.

The cast also includes Gabriel Byrne, Maria Bello, John Leguizamo and Brian Dennehy. Directed by Jean-François Richet, this is a hard, wintry reworking of John Carpenter's 1976 cult film, tightened into a single-night standoff. Stream Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) online on iFILM.
