99CR 12: Siege

Bryan and Dave kick off their 2024 Pride series by settling in for some QUEER VENGEANCE, Canada style! Siege is a by-the-numbers riff on Assault on Precinct 13 which makes one wonder, did Siege director Paul Donovan also watch Cruising at the same time? The movie pits a desperate struggle to survive the night against the 1981 Halifax police strike and despite it being such an obvious derivative of another movie, taking full advantage of the Canadian film tax shelter era, it's a solid action picture that is alarmingly suspenseful and it wears its ACAB sensibilities squarely on its sleeve. If you're in the mood to watch a bunch of homophobes get arrowed in the neck, shot in the face, and electrocuted by Home Alone-style traps, have we got a movie for you!
