ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13

(1976, USA)

DIRECTED BY: John Carpentar.

If there was ever an unheard of or unknown cult classic, its this masterpiece of supence/action. The cast of unknowns all give their best. The menace in this which is the gang of punks play a very important role although you never see they're point of view. Story has a police precinct just about to be relocated being attacked by a gang who are after a man inside. The gang killed his daughter and the ice cream man and the father killed the gang member responsible. The gang lay siege to the police station.

The main inhabitants are a police Lieutenant, two secretaries and a couple of inmates. One played by Darwin Josten gives a very likable performance along with the Lieutenant played by Austin Stoker. Definetly one of my fav films of all time. The music by Carpentar is unbeatable but I'm sure many will disagree. Looking for something different but not off in fucking la la land, then this is for you. Its not perfect but what film is. Anyone?

Rating: 5 Skulls
