Randy's Reviews
The only word that comes to mind when thinking of the blu ray release of John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 can be summed up as excellent.The new film transfer blows away the old dvd release. Color is much more defined and the overall look of the picture is extraordinary. The sound track is...

A Real Classic
The remake of this film was good but you have to see the original and Blu-ray makes this classic even better. Well worth the investment and the storyline is different with different bad guys.

Classic that SHINES on Blu-ray
I won't burden you with a full-length review of the film, or the rise and fall of the gang "Street Thunder". I will say that this is easily the best presentation of Carpenter's classic yet. With the exception of a few very grainy, barely-improved scenes, the film film is absolutely crystal clear,...

Believe the Blu-Ray Hype
This Blu-Ray edition trumps all other editions of tihs film on DVD. The image is wonderfully sharp and impressively clean. It kills the Blu-Ray edition of Carpenter's Halloween. Textures and facial features are crystal clear. The HD soundtrack sound as good as it probably ever wlil. Same...

BluRay Assault on Precinct 13 Killer Disc
HD DTS Mastr sound is the most powerful I've ever heard Carpenter's music and the 1080p credits really got me standing at attention. Good, because the next opening 'dark' scene is the worst looking scene in an otherwise exceptional BD of the classic Carpenter film. The film never looked or...

Carpenter's best
Forget Halloween, forget The Thing, Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 is his veritable masterpiece. It is endlessly cool, boasts his best soundtrack and his tightest direction, and happens to be one of the best thrillers ever made. Oh, and of all things, it's a remake of Rio Bravo! Sadly the...

Decent idea but weak execution
Warning : this review will have spoilers.I saw this for the first time (and last - I can't watch the ice cream sceen again) last night. Ok movie, but I felt like I was watching a remake of "Night of the Living Dead" more than a gang movie. The way the gang members silently walked about outside...
