It had been a while since I had watched the original Assault but its now pretty high on my films to re-watch when im surrounded in a siege. |
My sentiments exactly, Inspector. Along with Walter Hill's
The Warriors, it doesn't get much better where stylish but gritty '70s films are concerned in my opinion.
I eagerly await Second Sight's upcoming Blu of
Assault.
