About
If you want a snowbound police siege thriller with constant pressure and lots of action, this delivers; Not for you if you dislike grim remakes or expect the vibe of Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) or Narc (2002).
Pros: intense siege tension; strong action set pieces; big-name cast | Cons: uneven writing; harsh violence; some cliché characters
