Review of Attack the Block (2011) by Mikey M — 19 Nov 2012

....Or Chavs Vs Aliens as it might've been called. Contained monster movie that makes the most of its London tower block setting and some very neatly designed alien creatures. It scores the most points in bringing the mash up of two genres together, but loses out a little because it doesn't feature a strong or original character.

It's kind of an ensemble piece, but it has an odd double character throughline - some of which feels as though it might've been introduced through the push and pull of script development. It is unquestionably good fun though and that is its biggest redeeming quality.
