Release
Reception
Nerdly was critical, writing that "I do commend Cooney for wanting to make a film that has two strong female leads, it’s just that the finished product doesn’t portray them as such. In fact it’s not until the concluding moments of The Assault that our two leads actually get the least bit interesting… but by then its too little too late unfortunately."
