Critic Reviews

Smart, satisfying action entertainment that is also a perceptive work of considerable artistry.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

All classic and airtight, and handled by Richet with economy and a sturdy clarity of action; he doesn't go overboard with manic action scenes.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Matches a dingy urban setting with a compelling situation and throws in an ensemble of interesting characters who become even more interesting under stress. This emphasis on character -- in a sense, the movie's underlying humanity -- is what especially links it to the 1970s.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

For what it is, Assault on Precinct 13 delivers. It's not great art, but, for B-movie fans and those looking for a mid-winter jolt of energy, it's good fun.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

In an era when similar genre pics increasingly resemble videogames, musicvideos or glossy commercials, the blunt, brawny simplicity of helmer Jean-Francois Richet's storytelling style seems positively novel.Full Review
