Review of Attack the Block (2011) by Brad G — 08 Aug 2012
Trust. Believe. Attack The Block is the single best bit of nostalgic genre throwback I've experienced since John Carpenter's The Thing. And just like the '82 remake, Attack The Block manages to satisfy the past while establishing itself into the present.
John Boyega is one of the great recent breakout stars and I need to see him in more movie NOW! He's an urban 15 year old samurai badass ready to take on Toshiro Mifune's iconic status. Bam. Hyperbole.
Allow it. Sure, there's some nice little inner city commentary going on here, but at the end of the day this is a bloody beast of monster action cinema. And you'll be hollering when they kill all dem things.
