Attack the Block

Film yang bagus!

The damn subtitle ain't syncing

excellent

dooe

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this. It is dark, but in a light hearted way, both visually and in terms of the story line. Some small gems of particularly good humour. The aliens were presented in a non- stereotype and quite interesting/clever way. You really get a feel for the street city scene, which enhanced the experience and made it enjoyable with a few moments of pure humour. This film was well made, dark, funny, jumpy, and gripping. Overall a fast paced experience that will keep at you at the edge of your seat and fully entertained for the duration. Definitely work seeing - go and see it. Good job cornballs!

Bar 'Nil by mouth' and the Bill you don't see much of South London on the screen so I was looking forward to this. I was disappointed by the portrayal of the teenage characters. Setting up the main protagonists as violent little hood rats who put a knife to a girl loses audience sympathy / belief within the first half hour. Particularly mine, having been violently mugged in the car park of my flats a few years back. Believe me I wouldn't team up with the ?!**!! who did that to fight off a zombie apocalypse, let alone a few hairy aliens. Worse it reinforces the stereotype that kids who live on council estates are stupid violent thugs. Not true and pretty insulting to the majority. I'm sick of this idea that if you're poor or grow up in a rough area you're OK with violence and gang culture, and I don't like seeing it glorified. The one dimensional characterisation - including the 'posh boy' - seems to based on some weird middle class media dream version of the UK. What a wasted opportunity. maybe someone should buy Joe Cornish a dictionary for Christmas so he can look up 'anti hero'.

This film seems to glorify gang culture in the UK. I was quite optimistic when I started to watch it and came to the mugging scene. I took an immediate dislike to the characters but thought I would give it a chance as they were bound to redeem themselves later on in the film. They didn't. I was actually quite pleased when a few of them met their demise. If I were the woman in that situation I certainly wouldn't want to help these scrotes after the abuse she still continues to receive when they ask, sorry, demand her help later on in the film. The sfx were not too bad for a budget film and I will also give them credit for getting the character stereotypes spot on. If you are worried about the chav gang culture in the UK then avoid this film. If you call your mates 'bruv' and own quite a few hoodies and terrorise communities then this film is for you.

hey

This movie was disgusting because the heroes (the people that the movie wants you to think you are so you follow the story, am I wrong about this ?) are a group of teenage criminals who steal from a girl at the beginning of the movie. This made me want during the entire movie that the aliens kill these bastards and then invade Earth as quickly as possible. I was expecting that the heroes were some lost kids with no future and they could have become big kids with this alien chase, but since they were always selling drugs or harassing people in the streets, I could not get interested less in their fate. The movie was not interesting for anything apart from a few camera angles.

So many people think this film glorifies the criminal youth sub culture. They are totally missing the point. Yes, the kids are merciless, violent thugs, but, they have an amazing capacity for heroism, love and generosity. The message? don't give up on these kids, they have a lot to offer. I found myself drawn to them as the film progressed. I'm not sure this is intended to be a sci-fi film in the same vein as Star Trek. The effects are very good, but the creatures are just there to draw the protagonists together. The real story is the interaction of the characters, the breaking down of social barriers and, most importantly, the eating of the bad guys. This is a film of hope, Britain is not necessarily on a one way trip down the toilet. These kids are going to save us!! Believe Bruv.........
