For me one of the biggest surprises of this year. Great cast, great action and great atmosphere and when I found out after a few minutes that the film was a rip-off of my favourite Assault on Precinct 13 (maybe it's a remake, but I wouldn't bet on it), I was in heaven. A nonstop action flick with a great atmosphere that's well worth it. The French know how.

The Nest is a decently filmed action thriller that feels like a French variation of John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13, however, made with little innovation. In short, it's just a sort of suspenseful canapé. Nevertheless, the scene where a gang of thieves is driving along and starts whistling the Elmer Bernstein's theme to The Magnificent Seven has a totally iconic flair.
