I'm one of the few who think this is a mediocre film - at best. The direction and acting is there, but it lacks oomph. The characters are a different mixture of sorts, but I'm not sure that they played that well off of each other.
The gang members weren't believable. They were even comical in some scenes. A lot of the film was lackluster in its delivery - whether it be the dry action scenes or the barren dialog emitted from even dryer lips.
The soundtrack is the best thing about Assault on Precinct 13. It'll keep you interested enough to allow you to make it until the end. I was almost relieved when I finally saw the credits.
If by some chance someone reading this hasn't seen it, don't listen to the hype and try and force yourself to like a film that's not all that good to begin with.
