Review of Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) by Nick Schager for The A.V. Club — 20 Feb 2010
As incisive as it is thrilling, Carpenter’s film is also gorgeous. Carpenter’s imagery is a thing of propulsive beauty that both enhances suspense and expresses his characters’ ever-changing relations to one another.
It’s a fleet, ferocious piece of genre craftsmanship.
