"The Assault" had the feeling of a film school project due to the substandard screenplay.
Many of the scenes lacked coherence and logic. It made no sense that the two female robbers would hold up a convenience store and then burn their car. It made no sense that Nicole, the mastermind of the robberies, would seduce the detective. It made no sense that the detective would risk his reputation in a small town to get involved with a stripper. It made no sense that the Nicole would suddenly betray Lindsay in order to keep all the money herself.
There were actually some decent cinematic values with the winter photography and the location filming. Even the acting was good. But the cast should have demanded rewrites due to the absence of character development in in the script.
The preposterous situations and half-baked relationships made this film an assault on the intellect of the audience. It was a hit job!
