About Assault!
A bar-owner named Kuroki, forlornly waits for his adulterous wife to get back from messing around with her boyfriend. She returns, but because she's been fooling around with gangsters she brings trouble with her. Kuroki gets tied up and beaten, his wife and customers get tortured and raped, and it is finally up to the mousy cuckold to set things right, Straw Dogs-style.
Directed by Yukihiro Sawada, Assault! leans on a strong ensemble — Hitomi Kozue, Erina Miyai, Reika Maki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1976.
