Siege - Extended Version (1983) ***1/2

Siege (aka Self Defense) (1983) is a taut and lean, mean and downbeat thriller. A simple and singular picture with a gritty realism and an eerie synth score, Siege is a cool little Canadian genre gem.

Recommended for fans of Assault On Precinct 13 (1976), Vigilante (1982) (review), and Green Room  (2015).
