Thought it was a solid movie. Didn't bite off more than it could chew, rational characters (based on the fact that they're teenagers!), didn't oversaturate with unecessary character development, and honestly believable... which is a feat for a movie with furry gorilla monsters with no eyes and glowing blue teeth.

I felt this film didn't quite reach its potential, but I still enjoyed it all the same. Being Aussie, I particularly enjoyed the vernacular - it's nice to experience a different set of colloquialisms.

This movie walks the line between "action for late teens" and "cheap blood/gore-themed horror", and it does not do a great job at achieving either. The poor acting actually improves the movie, but my biggest gripe is that it just fails to draw interest, both in terms of characters and plot. It's definitely not a bad movie by any means, but it's not a good movie either. Horror and teen action fans might find this more enjoyable, while anyone who dislikes either of those genres should give this a pass.

As a youngster who grew up in East London, I loved this film so much as a kid as it captures how it feels to live in the run-down area's of London but also how misunderstood some of the kids are from these areas. Attack the Block starts off in such a way that you hate the main gang of boys but by the end, you understand their characters and even start to love some of the characters. I have to say this is due to the batsh*t crazy plot of this film which starts off as your regular gang film and turns into Aliens but in a tower block in London, sounds like a stupid plot but it is so genius as it gets you behind characters that you usually wouldn't want too. If this sounds like the plot of a film you'll love then please watch it. Does not surprise me Joe Cornish has become a very reputable filmmaker after this film as the screenplay and direction are superb. Also doesn't surprise me that John Boyega (Moses) started to get bigger and bigger after this, but the entire cast deserves a round of applause.
