Review of Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) by Akshatmahajan — 27 Jul 2021
From last few days, I have been watching John Carpenter's movie. I read alot of good things about this movie and watched it. For your info, this movie is now considered cult classic.
For me, the movie was tense as it was supposed to be. The plot was not new. Same old, criminals attacking police station. But the problem with the movie was that they didn't show that much attack. Out of 1hr30min, criminals barely attacked for around 15minutes. There are some good tense scenes including the climax. But for the most part, I felt like I was just a ordinary movie, nothing special.
If we talk about performances, everyone did a fine job. Direction by John Carpenter was just like his other movies such as Escape From New York and Escape From L.A. There was some issues with pacing but it will not effect the overall experience.
Overall, the movie is good. It was just that I expected too much and I found it underwhelming.
