Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

"John Carpenter's modern western is a masterclass of low-budget thrillers as a deserted police station comes under siege, with a cop, a secretary and two prisoners having to fight to stay alive. Borrowing from Night of the Living Dead and Rio Bravo, this builds the tension nicely with dark humour and brilliant use of light. It also has one of the most notorious scenes, the ice-cream van sequence. Still managing to pull no punches, even after over 40 years."

" Engaging action siege movie that almost get me to think about "Night of the Living Dead" but the zombies are replaced with gang-members carrying silencers instead. The gritty low budget give the movie a realistic documentary feel and the spare but effective synthesizer music add to the atmosphere. Even more shocking is the heartbreaking "meaningless murder" midway through the film that only the 1970s would have passed through the censorship system."
