À propos de ce film

Bonfire night, South London: Sam (Jodie Whittaker - ST TRINIANS, VENUS) is robbed by a gang of hooded youths. Suddenly a flaming meteor crash-lands close by. Sam makes her escape, but the gang are attacked by a small vicious alien. They kill the ghoulish invader, but their triumph is short lived. More aliens are invading and they're bigger, stronger and out for blood. The gang's only chance of survival is to take refuge within the concrete walls of their housing block. Teaming up with Sam and local drug dealer Ron (Nick Frost - SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ), they realise it's time to step up and be heroes. From the producer of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ, SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD and PAUL, ATTACK THE BLOCK is the directorial debut of comedian and broadcaster Joe Cornish (THE ADAM AND JOE SHOW). A sci-fi, horror, action, comedy with an old school flavour, it's inner city versus
outer space.

Notes et avis

It's hard to get invested in a movie when almost all of the "protagonists" are complete scumbags who just shout unintelligibly at people, and none of them really change. Even Moses is just trying to save his own skin, not anyone else's. I was hoping for all of them apart from Whittaker to get killed the entire time, and I wouldn't have even finished it if the person I was watching with hadn't basically made me. It's a shame, because the cast is great. They're just let down by irredeemably horrible characterization and scripting.

This film has a kooky but solid plot. I love the comedy crossover with sci-fi. Definetly has a few jumps and chuckles. One of the best comedy sci-fi's I have watched.

A fantastic movie with great characters. Nobody had to force me to watch this. Thugs with guns killing aliens?! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT? WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUUUUUUB! 🖕😂🖕
