The foundation of the original film is there, but this remake has a lot of differences. How much you will enjoy it may depend on a few factors: 1)If you have seen the original or not, 2)How much you loved John Carpenter’s original vision, and 3) Whether or not you believe the original has aged well or poorly three decades prior to this remake. I did find it fun to see such a stacked, recognizable cast, even in some of the smaller roles. I found myself missing, and yearning for, John Carpenter’s original score during the remake.

Remake of the 1976 John Carpenter film. On New Year's Eve, inside a police station that's about to be closed for good, officer Jake Roenick must cobble together a force made up cops and criminals to save themselves from a mob looking to kill mobster Marion Bishop.
