Joe Cornish ’s Attack the Block is n’t justone of the best sci - fi natural process movie of the last decade , but given … let ’s say recent event , maybe now would be a really fun time to re - keep an eye on a movie that ’s cursorily become a breeding earth for the future major stars of scifi flick and television .
First loose in 2011 , Attack the Block follows an exotic intrusion of a run - down housing block in South London , forcing a gang of teens lead by local male child Moses ( John Boyega , who I ’m sure you ’ve discover of lately ) to team up with a Sam , woman they ’d just mugged ( Jodie Whittaker , who you ’ve plausibly now heard of ) , to live on a nighttime of little terror and lots of heavyset London accents :
away from being make full with some really outstanding action mechanism — and a pound soundtrack to boot courtesy of Basement Jaxx — Attack the Block is a great examination of the struggles of the British working class , frame its intact alien nightmare around Sam , Moses , and the pack get to understand each other through their share experience of growing up around and living in their housing estate , and how the two different groups make out to prise and learn from each other , ultimately for the good . Then it ’s also get some madly well - done and intense action sequence where elephantine , terrifying blurry stranger get the crap outwit out of them on top of all that , and that ’s estimable too .
And , of course , it means that now you could look on Finn from Star Wars and Doctor Who ’s unexampled Doctor fight alienate together instead of just reading the fanfiction that ’s of necessity already being written .
