TRAINING DAY 2: TRAIN HARDER

Assault

All they had to do was change Ethan Hawke's character name and 'Assault on Precint 13' could easily have served as a sequel to 'Training Day'. As it is, it's a fun action movie in the vein of 'Die Hard 2: Die Harder'. So if you liked that one, you'll dig this. And while the ending is predictable, I was only 50% right on who would survive and who would die. I've always been a big fan of the finite number of good guys vs. bad guys and each side picks the other off until there's only the hero and whichever sidekick/love interest that didn't catch a bullet. And there's some witty one-liners through out. I found myself cheering at some of the funny/brutal death scenes as well. Note to self: One should not put flash-bang grenades in one's pants...
