Summary
On New Year's Eve, a soon-to-be-decommissioned Detroit police precinct staffed by a skeleton crew becomes the target of a siege after a notorious crime boss is rerouted there during a snowstorm. The station's sergeant, battling his own demons, must form an uneasy alliance with the prisoners to survive when heavily armed attackers surround the building, revealing the assault isn't what it first appears.
Released in 2005, Assault on Precinct 13 is an action, crime and drama film.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,909 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 203 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 203 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Assault on Precinct 13 lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 203.
