Attack the Block 2011 Movie Review
Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 4:23AM 
Joe Cornish's directorial debut "Attack the Block" has been reviewed to death, given endless critical praise, and gained a cult following before it even made it out of theaters and onto disc\media devices. It's exciting to say that all of the reviews were right. This film deserves the praise. Joe Cornish is a writing buddy of Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) with whom he co-wrote the upcoming Spielberg film, "The Adventures of Tintin." Needless to say, I expect Joe Cornish will be a household name in the near future. "ATB" is a science fiction coming of age dramedy that follows a gang of teenage criminals forced to take back their block (hood) from a swarm of angry beast like aliens. The film relies more on drama then comedy and contains many unique and intense action set pieces.
