We all heard about opportunistic political alliances. In fact every election in India is riddled with such a mockery of democracy. But, this is a new kind of alliance. A few cornered cops strike an alliance with their own prisoners to face a bunch of corrupted cops who are willing to go to any extent to save their asses.
"Assault in Precinct 13" happens on a new year eve. The sergeant is a weary detective who has moved to a desk job to avoid making decisions that had killed his comrades in action. When everyone has taken a day-off on the occasion, in his station, he now has a sexy secretary, a soon-to-be retired cop, his shrink on whom he has a crush. A bad weather brings a prison transit van to temporarily halt at this police station. The problem is that among the prisoners, we have a gangster cum cop killer who pose a great threat to whomsoever has him in captivity.
Soon, there is an assault launched into the police station. The sergeant and others believe that this the work of the gangster's goons trying to release him. But, when they realize that the target of attack is none other other than the gangster himself, they get confused. Slowly it dawns on them that the attackers are also cops with stained hands. If the gangster talks, they all has to accompany him to prison. The sergeant's team is outnumbered and the only way to survive is to join hands with the prisoners and take on the trigger happy corrupted cops.
"Assault..." kept me guessing till the end. Not whether justice will prevail because I knew it will. I was looking for the typical talking-bad guy at the end, who even with a gun in hand will ramble long enough to be over-powered by somebody. But, it didn't happen. When the bad guy gets a chance, he never misses it. There are some characters that wont normally die in these kind of movies. But, this film kills whoever makes the wrong move. I can sit back and enjoy these kind of movies without much problems
