Review of Attack the Block (2011) by Matt C — 25 Feb 2013
I had heard some great things about this movie before I finally decided to watch it. I knew it was about aliens attacking a London neighborhood, I knew its plot involved a woman who had been mugged teaming up with her young attackers...but, it also looked kind of silly, and possibly a dissapointment.
I love being wrong.
This movie was just awesome. I'm not a professional critic, or even close to it, so I'm not going to disect this picture and talk about its character arcs or its style (although I will say if you wanted to recreate the great urban French drama "La Haine" into a suspensful Sci-Fi film, this would be it!) so I'll just say this was the best blend of satire, suspense, and sci-fi I've ever seen (Cabin In The Woods is a close second). Watch this. Love this.
