A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion.
Attack the Block is mostly a fun alien invasion action movie, set in an untraditional setting. The aliens are thankfully quite original in their simplistic design. Just pure black hair and glow in the dark teeth. The action and gore is all well paced throughout the short running time. Whether you enjoy this or not may depend on your feelings towards the main character. In my opinion, they were too unlikable. A bunch of stupid hoodlums with a retarded moral code. At times it did well to point out the absurdity of such characters, I don't feel as though enough lessons were learned, nor was there adequate pay-off to all the characters. It also seems to try and make the heart bleed for these guys, as though we are supposed to be surprised when we find out they are kids and then excuse their actions. A bit of fun, but needed more.
