MY LONGEST YEAH BOYEGA EVER
tiaMay 10, 2021Not to be dramatic but Probs and Mayhem may be the best duo in cinematic history
alorJun 17, 2017I made Brooke watch this because I remembered it was really good, but I forgot that it's actually really REALLY good. This movie is so damn beautifully shot it drives me nuts. No duh Boyega became a star after this.

˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Dec 11, 2016Allow it, bruv. A few assorted notes since it's late and I'm too tired to write a coherent review: 1) I wasn't really expecting this to be quite as... well, compassionate as it is. Every character in the film feels absurdly fleshed-out and possesses agency and interest…

Does getting mugged in London always sound that funny?

- MovieDaddy likedAttack the Block
This one was over-hyped for me unfortunately. It’s pretty good, but it was sold to me as one of the best 2000s movies, which is just isn’t. Boyega is awesome and it’s a fun flick, but it’s not a top ten in any category. Check it out, but keep expectations at a reasonable level.
Tectash likedAttack the BlockAttack the block is a small budget alien invasion feature. I like the use of practical effects on the creatures and the atmosphere feels somewhat 80s. Story and characters are rather straightforward but I can see the effort on the screen. Nothing great but entertaining.
lvl likedAttack the Blockmy brother begs to watch this every single day even tho he has seen it a million times so in the respect I can’t rate it highly
- Amz Town is "meh" onAttack the Block
Very very average movie. The aliens look kinda cool in the beginning but then they turn into a muppet like fury creature with glow in the dark teeth. I don’t rate the story, or the acting very much at all.
t lovedAttack the Blocki’ve watched this movie when i was little and it’s still a favourite, boyega did incredible and we were robbed of a sequel, LIKE THE PART WHERE THEYRE CHEERING HIM OFF IN THE VAN
Nya Manneh lovedAttack the BlockThis movie is such a good societal commentary wrapped in an action movie! Broke my heart but is also such an underrated movie. Is SPECTACULAR!
- Anthony lovedAttack the Block
I had fond memories of this movie, but hadn’t seen it since release. It’s better than I remembered — exciting, clever, and funny 👍👍
annick lovedAttack the BlockSuch an underrated film. The block was neglected by society and so was Moses but he still fought to protect it and his friends.
Jacob Hall lovedAttack the BlockSilly sci-fi comedy. Young John Boyega does rizz face a bunch of times while beating up black tazmanian devils. BLAT BLAT BLAT

A terrific midnight movie of the future -- a tough, funny, fast-moving and tightly constructed John Carpenter riff in which a bickering group fights a pack of space monsters in and around a single location.
