(1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1   8/10 "a film with as much tension as the original, but far more character-based drama and psychological depth"   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel "I'm still trying to recover from this action film's relentless suspense."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B+ "A gritty, violent journey that's about twice as good as you'd expect it to be."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark A- "It’s a joy to see a gritty, take-few-prisoners film like Assault, and a relief to see it come together so magnificently."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf B- "delivers the action movie goods [thanks to] adroit pacing...[and] a cast of extremely capable actors."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna C- ""Assault On Precinct 13" is a movie that tries to elaborately connect modern day police technology and methods to out-of-date aspects from John Carpenter's'70s era film. The result is that the audience is pulled from feeling like you're watching a blow-ou"   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "The clash of seething, seeming opposites who really do see eye to eye, as embodied by Hawke and Fishburne, is pretty near irresistible. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs "The clash of seething, seeming opposites who really do see eye to eye, as embodied by Hawke and Fishburne, is pretty near irresistible. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs A- "It’s a blast… literally."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2.5/4 "Assault on Precinct 13 is sporadically effective but far too incoherent to warrant a full-blown recommendation."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 6/10 "Richet's film provides more than enough entertainment in its 109 minutes"   Draxblog Movie Reviews   Dragan Antulov 2.5/4 "Graphically violent and merciless...refreshingly unpretentious in its goal to entertain and put a jolt in any non-squeamish viewer sick to death of cookie-cutter genre movies."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman F "The nuances which made Carpenter's movie work are missing this time around, leaving little more than just another excuse to have people shoot at one another for two hours."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens C+ "It provides some escapist entertainment, insofar as seeing people try to kill each other constitutes 'escapism.' (What would you be escaping from? Pleasantness?)"   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "For what it is, it works well enough -- as a thriller and suspense machine, at least, it is serviceable, and technically proficient."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B "Astonishingly enough, the old chestnut is still a grabber...earning its suspense the old-fashioned way, by pacing and atmosphere rather than cheap thrills."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "A ho-hum police action drama that did not merit a remake."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "It's not great art, but, for B-movie fans and those looking for a mid-winter jolt of energy, it's good fun."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "In its middle section, Assault on Precinct 13 manages to build up an impressive head of steam."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Trashy '70s Carpenter flick gets a startlingly good remake that's smart, swift and full of bruising good times for B-movie action fans."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3 "..a cocksure, stylized, gutty thrill-ride very much in the tradition of star Ethan Hawke and producer Jeffrey Silver’s prior collaboration, Training Day.."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 3.5/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis "This movie is worthy of the original."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel B "...a solid genre picture of gritty mayhem and spirited characterizations"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "The result is still formulaic, but it's never dull."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "There's a sense that almost anything could happen."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B- "Rudely funny and gleefully violent, the film is a wound-up genre exercise that doesn’t dip even a toe into reality but is a good time if you can get past that."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[A] tenth-generation Xerox of Die Hard... blurry, fuzzy, just faintly hinting at far superior movies it’s trying to ape..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/5 "It is not effective as a suspense film. Aside from one or two sequences, it doesn't work at all."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. B "The fluidity of relationships as loyalties shift gives this story extra energy and sizzle that takes it beyond the usual shoot-out and explosion-movie standard."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "the primary attack being perpetrated by this 2004 version of Assault on Precinct 13 is on Carpenter’s classic."   Filmcritic.com   Nick Schager 4/5 "Apresenta mais acertos do que erros."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/5 "A nifty little action movie, and well worth a look."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "A fairly edgy thriller that's not too demanding, but thoroughly entertaining."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "It's neither graceful nor disgraceful; it just functions and then is over."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B "A modest film to be sure, but that modesty still packs a satisfying punch."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B- "[Assault on Precinct 13] is a surprise at a time when the studios usually dump their dreck on the poor, film-starved winter movie-goer."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2.5/5 "Without a few characters worth rooting FOR or AGAINST, what we're left with is soft-core porn with guns instead of genitalia."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 6/10 "As remakes go, this action thriller is a notch above the rest."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "Grounded in viscera and spit, it delivers the goods with an uncompromising nastiness."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. Read review   Georgia Straight   Mark Harris  (1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
