The lone inhabitants of an abandoned police station are under attack by the overwhelming numbers of a seemingly unstoppable street gang.
I remember: This movie was highly anticipated, and it certainly delivered, a low-budget masterpiece of slick, straightforward action cinema, very reminiscent of Howard Hawks.
Halliwell***: "Violent but basically efficient and old-fashioned programmer which shows that not all the expertise of the forties in this then-familiar has been lost."
Maltin***1/2: "...riveting thriller, a modern-day paraphrase of Howard Hawks' RIO BRAVO. Writer-director Carpenter also did the eerie music score for this knockout."
