<p><i>Assault on Precinct 13</i> remains one of John Carpenter's best movies. I doubt he would speak so favorable of this movie. On his audio commentary track for Image Entertainment's DVD release of <i>Assault on Precinct 13</i>, he frequently laments about the movie's slow pacing. If he had edited it today, he would've tightened up the movie considerably. However, I think one of the movie's greatest virtues is its deliberate pacing in the introductory scenes.
