Attack The Block (2011)

Pure fun is what this film is all about.  A glorious science fiction action flick that captures the same vibe films like Predator did in the '80s.  It's the story of a group of hoodlums in a British ghetto, known as the Block, who must defend their neighborhood from aliens from space.  The aliens are these furry teeth glowing ape-like monsters that give the film the right amount of danger to make our heroes battle desperate and thrilling.  The heroes are likable without being too charming and the fact that people die keeps the story believable.  Oh, and it's funny too.  There's really nothing more to say about Joe Cornish's monster film, it's just gruesome, exciting fun.  Grade: A-.
