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.

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.

If you want precise tactics, believable outcomes and a tight film, go away. You're not welcome to Self Defense/Siege.
