Assault on Precinct 13

I've been going through some old files lately and came across the picture to the left. It's from a movie, directed by John Carpenter, called "Assault on Precinct 13." Although a real low-bugeted film, it is one of Carpenter's best. The story concerns a small group of cops, office workers and convicts fighting for their lives in an abandoned police station under siege by a street gang.

The picture to the left is of
Darwin Johnston who played a real hard case named Napoleon Wilson. I was surprised that Johnston didn't do more of these types of roles. Tony Burton from the "Rocky" movies co-starred. The movie is worth a look if you enjoy action/adventure.
