Similar to VFW
A typical night for veterans at a VFW turns into an all-out battle for survival when a desperate teen runs into the bar with a bag of stolen drugs. When a gang of violent punks come looking for her, the vets use every weapon at their disposal to protect the girl and themselves from an unrelenting attack.

"I want Assault on Precinct 13, but with zombies" Carpenter doesn't do it himself anymore, so you build your own splatter with pseudo-zombies. Of course, don't expect a complex plot or clever dialogues. And yes, there is a lot of blood and violence. And music that tries to emulate Carpenter. But: Too dark, picture quality not good, pacing uneven. Conclusion: Not really entertaining, not even on the level I expected. But hey, your expectations may be different.
60/100 A girl, who just stole the entire stash of a drug lord, runs into a VFW bar full of veterans celebrating a birthday party. Let the siege begin. Being a fan of Stephen Lang since "Crime Story", and growing up with many of the other familiar faces in this film, made it a joy to watch despite it's issues. Those issues? The action would often conveniently stop for a dramatic pause of some sort and it was directed without any sense of intimacy ...I felt more a spectator than to actually feel involved in the story. But, good, psychotronic, escapist fun, none-the-less. -- DrNostromo.com
