why remake the original assault . to my mind assault be carpenter true masterpiece . it have all the element good carpenter movie contain . external threat on a small group of individual . people take the challenge because they be force to do so . isolation . just remember and the gun in carpenter original make no sound and be thus a lot more threatening than conventional device . and now this remake . concentrate on main character be psychology and on his relation to main character ii ( the evil but honorable ) . the anonymous threat in the carpenter movie replace by a rather conventional conspiracy or corruption background . the remakers just do not understand the main plot of the original . and thus produce something pretty ordinary .
