Entertaining gun action

A remote police station, a detainee with unknown identity, and impending doom - sounds familiar? Yet this is no Assault-on-Precinct-13 remake, but a fresh take on this familiar stage.

It's not a deep psychological thriller, nor a triple-A action movie, not a baffling new take on known cliches.

But what it is, is: entertaining. No boredom, no groan-worthy plot holes; a pinch of over-the-top action added to good acting, with the plot a good mix of known and new elements, so it doesn't feel worn out. Solid direction and production values.

It's not a must-see; but for pure entertainment, I definitely recommend it.
