Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo, Toby Huss, and Alexis Louder in Descente au poste (2021)

Tearing through the Nevada desert in a bullet-ridden Crown Vic, wily con artist Teddy Murretto (Frank Grillo) hatches a desperate plan to hide out from lethal hitman Bob Viddick (Gerard Butler): He sucker-punches rookie officer Valerie Young (Alexis Louder) to get himself arrested and locked up in a small-town police station. Jail can't protect Murretto for long, and Viddick schemes his own way into detention, biding his time in a nearby cell until he can complete his mission. When the arrival of a competing assassin (Toby Huss) ignites all-out mayhem, mounting threats force Viddick to get creative if he wants to finish the job and escape the explosive situation.

Action n star cast overshadows the movie's flaws.

Grillo with a man bun like Tom Cruise in Last Samurai which nobody saw was epic.

The movie tried hard to be like Assault on Precinct 13 but the lack of atmosphere, tension n suspense prevented it.

In fact the low budget VFW starring Stephen Lang is a decent take on defending the 'Alamo'.

It's fine

I see what they were going for here. I don't think they succeeded. If they had, this would have been my kind of movie. But something always feels off or unnatural.

For me, the movie maxes out at "pretty good," goes as low as "kind of stupid," with the bulk of the movie being mediocre. Overall, it's fine. (1 viewing, 1/30/2022)

Should have been better

I was hoping for this to be a decent little thriller but I was a bit disappointed by the end. It has a good set up and scenario and the action when it hits is well portrayed, but it's overlong and just too drawn out for what it is. The snappy dialogue is too sub-Tarantino at times and there are long stretches that don't move the plot forward; in particular, the last half hour just seems to endlessly stretch out to no avail. It should have been better.

Good Start Then Spiralled Down, Don't Bother!

Copshop

This movie got off to a very good start and then about 45 minutes in the dialogue became stilted, the acting stiff, the plot repetitive, and the scenarios contrived.

To my mind Gerald Bultler sabotaged his own movie by being desperate to engrandize his role without sufficient substance and have the last word.

The female cop played by Alexis Louder did a fine job but you "can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear".

Overall this is 5 outta 10 at best, meaning watch it on TV if you are minded.

I don't get it...what were you expecting?

This is a fun action movie not a serious crime-drama or thriller...it doesn't take itself too seriously and the cast has fun with the material. Speaking of cast, it has a great one, the writing is good, the actors have fun with it and direction is very solid and ,dare I say it, "cool". It's got that stylized look in the mould of John Wick and is just as enjoyable flick if the watcher will stop being so critical for 2 hours. Not everything has to be high-brow artistic perfection. Like Wick, this is far-fetched, its low-brow and I loved it.

Anecdotes
According to Frank Grillo in a March 2021 Collider interview, when Gerard Butler briefly passed on the project, it was offered to Liam Neeson. Neeson declined due to the single-location premise, by which time Butler decided to do the movie after all.

Gaffes
Teddy is able to break into the armory by simply breaking the glass window. It is absolutely unlikely that a police armory full of automatic weapons would not be better protected (especially if you consider that other parts of the station have bulletproof windows and security locks).
