Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
So gripping and focused that it easily bests Hollywood movies with 50 times its budget.
– Kyle Smith,

rotten:
In place of emotional stakes, we get gleaming, stylized, occasionally slow-motion violence, filmed in such extreme close-ups and cramped spaces that it's impossible to differentiate gunman and victim.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

rotten:
Brisk and technically efficient, The Assault is a dull film based on a real event that certainly wasn't.
– Alison Willmore,
AV Club,

rotten:
Only the overstylized, near-colorless cinematography offers any shades of gray (actually, nothing but shades of gray); everything else is rendered in the most black-and-white way possible.

The Assault is so tense, it seems to pass in a single held breath-so quickly, in fact, that you don't register its narrative flimsiness until later on.
