Attack the Block Review

Attack the Block is a very interesting film. I really enjoyed it, partially because I went into it having no idea what I was seeing, and it payed off. Because of that, I will not describe the movie in more detail than saying that it is a British science fiction film, and that anyone who is a sci-fi fan should see it.
The acting in this film is surprisingly strong. A lot of the actors are very young, so it is somewhat shocking to see kids giving such strong performances. The writing is also similarly strong, and uses the lingo from the area to give a sense of realism and humor.
The visuals are very interesting, although at times they do give a sense of the film's limited budget. The action sequences are also handled very well and are very exciting, with great editing and cinematography.
All in all it is a film that will surprise you, and make you care about the characters. The tone perfectly mixes the fun and humor with the seriousness and danger. It is one of the most fun movies of the year and it is very surprising that it is able to make you care so much about its characters. I highly recommend seeing it and not learning anything else about it.
