5/10
Average Siege movie
7 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Two policemen are finishing packing up their police station which is being shut down. I wasn't quite paying attention but I think the old cop was one day away from retirement, aren't they all? They have the secretary (de Matteo) for company and it is New Years Eve. There is a huge snow storm going on outside so a bus carrying some prisoners has to stop off there too. But what's this? People are trying to break into the station to free one of the prisoners – Bishop, a notorious cop killer. Or are they? No! It turns out the attackers are in fact corrupt cops who want to kill Bishop because he is about to testify against them all. Twisty.

There then follows a siege, with rather a high body count. It wasn't an outstanding film but it was entertaining. However, I did fall asleep during the last wee bit, though it was late, about 10.30pm for goodness sake! It was predictable in parts and wasn't especially thrilling. There was also unnecessary animal cruelty at the start for which one point will be deducted.
