Alex Esmail, Jodie Whittaker, John Boyega, Luke TreadawayMovie propaganda
From the producers of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD comes ATTACK THE BLOCK - a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It’s inner city versus outer space!

Movie Review
If you read the synopsis of this movie, you would know it's Aliens from space facing off against a gang of teenagers. This is probably all you need to know to realise that it won't be the ultimate showdown. Armed with fireworks and knives, the teenagers are fighting an enemy capable of ripping humans to pieces but somehow they manage to survive as you would expect from the typical alien invasion movie. The film does try to be funny and in some scenes it is but a lot of the time you'll be wondering what the writers were on when they wrote the movie which features heavily of drugs. If you've read the synopsis you could pretty much imagine the whole movie, nothing unexpectedly funny or exciting happened.
