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.
