**IN CONCLUSION**
I had heard about this movie many times before ...
Advantages: Lot's of action Disadvantages: Tired plot, cop cliches
from his roles in Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge.
Jean-Francois Richet has made a stylish film in Assault On Precinct 13. The pace is just right, with no overly violent scenes, and no boring, drawn out soul searching by any characters. For many of the action scenes, Richet opts to use only a couple of cameras, which pan to follow the action. At times I find this irritating. It's quite disorientating and makes me a little sea-sick.

Gordon off to a tee. Gordon as a character has a destiny and I hope that in the following films that this plays out to entirety. Oldman's performance in The Dark Knight is spot on.
The saddest part of the cast is the late Heath Ledger; we all know that Ledger passed way earlier this year. His input into this film is staggering. His take on The Joker is what the cinema just hasn't seen for years and I think that it is this film that Ledger will be remembered for as he effectively grounds the character and totally rebuilds him into a totally different type of villain that we haven't seen before in this genre of film. His Joker has all the trademarks of the comic character in appearance such as the green hair and build, but what Ledger has done is to take his attitude towards life and increase it by 200% so that the character in the film has ...
