“A white-hot night of hate!”
ThrillerActionCrime
A highway patrol officer, two criminals, and a station secretary form an unlikely alliance to defend a defunct Los Angeles precinct against a siege by a bloodthirsty street gang.
VIBE
This is a lean, mean, and relentlessly tense siege thriller that grips you from its shocking opening. It feels like a pressure cooker of primal fear and desperate survival, with a raw, no-frills aesthetic that amplifies every brutal confrontation. It's a masterclass in building dread and propulsive action.
