Assault on Precinct 13 Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Hopelessly violent but exceedingly well made.
Variety
Variety Staff
Novelty of a gang swearing a blood oath to destroy a precinct station and all inside is sufficiently compelling for the gory-minded to assure acceptance.
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
Assault on Precint 13's powerful exercise in democracy...is nothing short of one for the ages.
Long Island Press
Prairie Miller
While the Carpenter 1976 cult classic feasted off the blaxploitation and horror thriller mania of the movie moment back then, French director Richet gets more into character depth, and greater moral ambiguity fueling the social contradictions now.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers
Steve Crum
Claustrophobic classic by Carpenter still grabs.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Assault on Precinct 13 is one of Carpenter's best, an ultra-gritty cop story.
PopMatters
David Sanjek
Carpenter had little time or money to meander off the point, so it possesses an expositional leanness that would not stand the loss or a single scene.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
As formally compact and rigorously efficient as anything the genre filmmaker ever made.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. Carpenter is an extremely resourceful director whose ability to construct films entirely out of action and movement suggests that he may one day be a director to rank with Don Siegel.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Assault on Precinct 13 is derived from the '70s popular crime genre, largely composed of borrowed pieces, each polished and radiant.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
...there's no mistaking the modern racial and sexual politics encoded in the distinctly western elements of Carpenter's lean, mean, genre-defying masterpiece.
