Nid De Guêpes / Осиное Гнездо (2002 Florent Emilio Siri) Blu Ray Nid De Guêpes (2002), also known as The Nest, is a French action / thriller movie, co-written and directed by Florent-Emilio Siri. The literal translation of the French title is Wasp’s Nest. The film is quasi-remake of the 1976 film, Assault on Precinct 13, which in turn was inspired by 1959’s Rio Bravo. Nid de Guêpes combines a director’s love of the Western, especially the old films such as the original Fort Apache, with modern European fears about transnational crime and the modern cinematic trope of the girl hero or female action hero. The cinematography of the movie was highly influential in subsequent American cinema releases, especially the most recent remake of Assault on Precinct 13. The film closely follows John Carpenter’s original Assault on Precinct 13 even down to a similar last stand and a variant of the infamous “ice cream truck“ scene.
