    Attack of the young Brits

    by rerabb

    What a timely movie. Not only great unknown actors, but a movie that moves quickly and deftly with great writing and ok enough special effects.. the effects are not an essential aspect to this film. The coolest aspect to this film is the insight it gives to the underclass in Britain that is in fact rioting on a nightly basis as the film is out. In the case of the movie they are at war with alien monsters and the establishment. So one gets a timely look at the subculture that is in fact in open revolt in England right now. Otherwise still a great film

    Attack the Block review

    by neoslan

    funny british comedy, seems medium budget film. reminds me of fantasies I used to have. Nothing too special, just a story of a crew protecting themselves from alien species at their so called hangout. Very original compared to whats in theaters. In my head though, the storyline is a bit in the middle, maybe cuz it reminds me of my own fantasies.
