Review of Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) by Dana Stevens for The New York Times — 28 Jun 2013
The main thing this "Assault" lacks is a point. Mr. Carpenter's film still resonates with the political paranoia and social unease of the era. Mr. Carpenter's cynical refusal to distinguish clearly between good guys and bad guys feels freshly unsettling, while Mr.
Richet's "modernization" looks like something we've seen a hundred times before.
