Here is a shaggy monster movie that pulls double-duty as a satire of class and ethnic barriers, and how those barriers quickly disappear when we are forced to fight for our simple survival.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Attack the Block attacks the alien invasion genre with wit, energy and a cheeky insolence that makes it out of this world.
Tom Long, Detroit News

An energetic genre ride with social ambitions about race and class.

"Attack the Block" demands to be seen simply because it is a thrill - a pulse-raiser whose perfect construction and pointed wit make it one of the year's most exciting films.
John DeFore, Washington Post
