Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Take out the alien part and the sort of low grade scum thugs that roam streets in parts of london is the reality in 2018. Failed city of knife and gun crimes

I just could't get over those young criminals and I truly didn't care about what happened to them. The aliens were actually doing everyone a favor by /injuring killing them. The action takes way too much time to happened, it's too dark and the special effects are laughable. he characters are just caricatures of American gangs and they just are ridicule. I love science fiction movies but this one is just a big waste of time.

For it's few flaws - including a difficult to relate to and even borderline unlikable, though eventually empathetic and entertaining, set of main characters and a basic plot that whizzes by in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of way, since it's much more focused on the propelling of action than the minutia of narrative - 'Attack The Block (2011)' is just breathlessly entertaining, consistently enjoyable and always a taut experience that keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat. It's actually quite a tense watch because, not only does it aptly establish real stakes relatively early on, the aliens themselves are wonderfully tangible and feel like palpable presences within every scene in which they appear, always ready to tear out a throat no matter if it belongs to a hardened criminal or an innocent child. It's this balance, of proper danger and grit with an equal level of fast-paced fun, that makes the flick as exciting and generally delightful as it is. It actually feels like a breath of fresh air, in some ways, even though it conforms to its genre, mainly because it's just so totally efficient and, as such, so totally effective. 7/10

So I actually bought this movie - rented - after I read the reviews and saw the ratings and , I mean, people were raving about this movie like it was made of gold. Now see I live in a country where Trump is president so it all makes sense now. People just like dumb sh**. So basically if you're over 30 and you stopped smoking weed ( that's a big one) this movie is just going to be dumb. Idk, maybe it's me- I don't like drug movies either ... i mean if you're not impressed by gangs or English slang / Ebonics, this won't be that great. It's a kids movie and I imagine kids who relate with the characters... to me , I just from the very first scene I wanted the lead actor to die and get killed by the alien. I couldn't believe that the movie was going to actually be about this group of punk kids.. but again, makes total sense nowadays . j didn't think it was funny or smart or anything. But I lived a pretty crazy lifestyle for most of my youth and I'm just over it .. smoked more weed all that. I think this movie is for people who wish they lived like this or kinda think they are like this in their heads or the other option. Just immature and stupid with really easy to meet needs as far as film goes - action, etc. I don't want to sound like Debbie downer- I mean the acting is great , the script is realistic. As far as dialogue, and it's a well produced movie. Its cute . I just wanted to warn the adults out there that this is not the movie for you if you're smart and like I said over 30 and stopped smoking weed. It isn't even entertaining - because if you don't think smart ass kids or smoking weed or gang mentality and gang bangers are funny or cool you'll just be bored as fu**. That is basically the only thing to the movie .. the plot is simple.
