Overlooked classic grindhouse thriller... I first rented this out under the title Siege back in the 80s. This film needs an official release desperately. Cannot believe that it hasn't been done already.

Overlooked classic grindhouse thriller... I first rented this out under the title Siege back in the 80s. This film needs an official release desperately. Cannot believe that it hasn't been done already. Siege motors along at a fast pace, no lulls, just scene upon scene of intense cat and mouse between a gang of murderous thugs and a group of people (in what looks like the most rundown n scuzziest building ever) who take in a survivor from the gangs previous assault. Shade of Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 and a cheeky wink towards Escape From New York, the gang take on more than they bargain for when the ever resourceful victims strike back. Solid acting all round and a sucker punch of a twist at the end. This is a must see..! Classic grindhouse..! Trivia: The Japanese cut of the film has a further 7 minutes of 'daytime' footage which has never been released outside of Japan.

This movie is really cool. It's a gem you'd find on CBC late night when they'd sometimes show boobs in German incest movies. The sounds, siege, cars, unique city, costumes, 80s gay scare and wacky characters with technofuturetechnology make this a must see if you're into that stuff. If you want precise tactics, believable outcomes and a tight film, go away. You're not welcome to Self Defense/Siege.
