...it's about a police station in New York under siege by a bunch of bad cops. Very eerie movie, scary, suspenseful. The action takes place right around Christmas time. The good cops on the inside are protecting a drug dealer who can be a key witness.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If not about what year was it released?
...action does NOT take place in LA which is Precinct 13.
The action I believe is in New York and it's definitely winter... the police and detective inside are celebrating either Christmas or New Years.
Very scary movie with sinister bad cops on the outside trying to get in.
Possible you have your facts mixed up?
...but the 2005 newer version.
Thanks!

I'm definitely confused! It was the re-make I was thinking of! Thanks for your help.
Sergeant Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke), veteran cop Jasper O'Shea (Brian Dennehy) and secretary Iris Ferry (Drea de Matteo) are the only people remaining in a soon to be shut down Detroit police precinct on New Year's Eve. Roenick is deskbound and abusing alcohol and prescription drugs. He is haunted by a botched undercover operation eight months prior that resulted in the deaths of two members of his team. Psychiatrist Alex Sabian (Maria Bello) is treating Roenick at the station.
Meanwhile, crime lord Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne) is in custody and accused of killing a police officer. He is being transported to another location by bus with three other criminals: addict Beck (John Leguizamo), petty crook Anna (Aisha Hinds), and counterfeiter Smiley (Ja Rule), but a raging snowstorm forces the two guards to hunker down at Precinct 13 until the storm is over.
Masked gunmen attack the station and kill the prison guards, demanding Bishop handed over to them. The attackers are corrupt street cops and SWAT officers led by Captain Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne). Formerly partners in crime, Duvall and his men must kill Bishop before he can testify about their involvement."
memorable film imo - ( New Window )
Exactly... Ethan Hawke. That film scared the heck out of me for some reason!
