About this movie

From the producers of Shaun of the Dead, ATTACK THE BLOCK is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen street gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing project into a sci-fi battleground, the low-income apartment complex into a fortress under siege. And it turns a crazy mix of tough street kids into a team of kick ass heroes. It's inner city versus outer space and it's going to explode. © 2011 Canal+ Image UK Limited, UK Film Council 2010 and Channel 4 Television Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

I've heard about this movie and was always curious since it fits into that tough category of sci-fi comedy/ satire. The writing was terrific and reflected the language of a London block like this. The characters were over the top, yet within reason and believable. The reason for the aliens and what they were after made sense and was not some farfetched excuse for how they acted. A definite thumbs up. Good special effects and this probably had a modest budget so they made their money work for them.

Great movie, I get a huge kick out of all the wankers who can't get passed the race thing! you act as though your above racism while seeing nothing but race and class in movies. Get over yourselves.

Attack the Block (2011) is a fun alien invasion flick. Its silly and for me, surprisingly engaging. It's got John Boyega, who most will know from The Force Awakens. He does a good job here.
