Watch Attack the Block For Free

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Best movie ever!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

What a horrible, tasteless, tacky POS! This movie epitomized the mindless drill that millennials have become! This movie is made to be played in the background as you do housework to drown out the sound of the vacuum, that's about all it's good for, or maybe, I couldn't even finish that sentence, that's how mind numbingly BAD this movie is!

I just could't get over those young criminals and I truly didn't care about what happened to them. The aliens were actually doing everyone a favor by /injuring killing them. The action takes way too much time to happened, it's too dark and the special effects are laughable. he characters are just caricatures of American gangs and they just are ridicule. I love science fiction movies but this one is just a big waste of time.

For it's few flaws - including a difficult to relate to and even borderline unlikable, though eventually empathetic and entertaining, set of main characters and a basic plot that whizzes by in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of way, since it's much more focused on the propelling of action than the minutia of narrative - 'Attack The Block (2011)' is just breathlessly entertaining, consistently enjoyable and always a taut experience that keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat. It's actually quite a tense watch because, not only does it aptly establish real stakes relatively early on, the aliens themselves are wonderfully tangible and feel like palpable presences within every scene in which they appear, always ready to tear out a throat no matter if it belongs to a hardened criminal or an innocent child. It's this balance, of proper danger and grit with an equal level of fast-paced fun, that makes the flick as exciting and generally delightful as it is. It actually feels like a breath of fresh air, in some ways, even though it conforms to its genre, mainly because it's just so totally efficient and, as such, so totally effective. 7/10

In terms of casting, this movie did a perfect job. Everyone is great, right down to the younger kids. And a large amount of the actors have gone on to be quite successful so the director chose well.In terms of the story and setup, it's all fine. They're attacked by alien creatures and they have to protect 'the block'. I had some issues with the overall execution of this premise. Its setup seems like it's going to be a bit goofier than it actually ends up being. It's not really a fun movie at all. The action is coherent for the most part and nicely shot. But it's very violent and is almost like a horror movie at times. I think Nick Frost was supposed to be the comic relief but he has barely more than a cameo of screen time compared to everyone else.It's an above average lower budget action movie but it only wants to dip its toe in humour and cheesy-ness despite having a fairly cheesy premise.
