A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion.
When you want the heroes to die a horrible death and the aliens to win, and win quick you know it's a dreadful film.<br/><br/>Unsympathetic heroes who I hoped were going to die in the first scene linger until I gave up watching this load of trash.<br/><br/>Additionally for a film advertiseda comedy it was tragically short of laughs. In fact I can't remember one funny 'laugh out loud' scene.<br/><br/>The aliens themselves looked quite good and their well formed appearance certainly helped me root for their success. Unfortunately I lost interest before the end, but I assume the low-life heroes won.<br/><br/>Really, don't bother.
I saw this movie on the day of it's release in Great Britain. I was hoping for a good comedy/alien flick, and one that I would want to re-watch once it was released on DVD. The last movie that fell into this category, which I truly enjoyed, was Gremlins (man, that makes me feel old) - I still watch it every Christmas, and it is definitely timeless. To ask for a classic on this scale is a bit much, but we can all hope right? After a plethora of exciting trailers (Everytime I see Transformers on the big screen, it turns me into an excited little girl) the film began and I instantly felt at home. It's refreshing to see the city of London portrayed so honestly. Being set in the Brixton area, they do a great job of capturing the true feel of the area, it feels lucid and real - which in my opinion adds greatly to the film. But several hairy aliens later, you realize this is no documentary. The dialog and young actors are refreshing, they really feel like their real-life counterparts, acting and conversing like you'd expect kids of this day age to do. The humanity they use to prop-up each of the characters 'hoodlum' facade is crucial to the dynamic of the film, and what lifts it above other attempts at this genre. The underlying reasoning for this alien invasion is also rather smart, if a little underplayed. The aliens and their origin aren't really explored at any time, but instead become a prop to facilitate the action within the film, rather than being part of it. They're far from formidable, getting picked off one by one like Uruk Hai at Helm's Deep. They're 'just there', and thatsfarit goes. The action runs smoothly, if lacking any particular structure. Stuff just continues to happen without any attempt to build tension, or move towards a firework ending. This does let the film down a little, but the great screenplay and dialog paint over these cracks. The supporting actors do a great job, although some roles (the gun-swinging drug dealer being one) don't really add to the film, and could have been fledged out a little more, or lost altogether. Overall, this film impressed me, if wanting for a little more in terms of structure. The distinct lack of attempt to build any tension (bearing in mind the film contains teethy, hairy aliens) was disappointing. But thanks to the believable young actors, superb dialog, and relatable surroundings…this film rises far above mediocrity.
A brisk blast of bloody good fun, sci-fi with a little social commentarysubtext. Attack the Block is the movie that "Battle: Los Angeles" was not - thrilling, nerve-wracking and fun.
The movie takes place on Guy Fawkes night, November 5th, which is traditionally celebrated with fireworks and bonfires in England.
