Title: About average for Carpenter
Review: ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (1976) Directed, written, scored and edited byJohn Carpenter.Starring Austin Stoker, Charles Cyphers, Nancy Loomis and HenryBrandon.An early crime film by Carpenter about a Los Angeles police stationabout to close down and with a skeleton crew that finds itself undersiege by a large(and unlikely interracial) street gang with high poweredweapons. Not brilliant. Flawed in that way nearly all of Carpenter'sfilm are. Vaguely wince inducing dialogue. Still. An entertainingcrime film and an inoffensive time killer.And yes THAT Henry Brandon who played Barnaby in BABES IN TOYLAND andFu Manchu in DRUMS OF FU MANCHU!!!This was apparently remade recently!! I imagine with CGI gangmembers??
