Attack the Block

The twist on the alien invasion genre, the attack happens in a London housing project plagued by petty, teenage criminals. There are a few pleasant surprises, but overall the movie’s too impressed with it’s own concept and fails to build an interesting story or a suspenseful plot. The rough and tumble, “Guy Richie” yobs keep you watching, which makes for a fun night, even if it’s clear this movie will not resonate for one second past the end credits.
