Pro/Con's Carpenter Month ends with a bang! If only abolishing the police were so easy. Lewis and Nick watched the remake of "Assault on Precinct 13" (2005), a choppy, uneven adaptation of the 1976 original. A few memorable performances (namely Laurence FIsburne, Drea de Matteo, and John Leguizamo) can't salvage this mess. At least Leguizamo gets to kill a cop with a katana.
