The greatest movie ever!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I can't quite remember when I last scratched my head in wonder at the perverse rating given to mindless dross, probably yesterday. I must commend the young writers who won the under 12 award though for the production of this film, and even though I am comparing it to regular adult fare, I feel it is not too unfair as this is the competition it faces. So if you want to watch inner city scumbag stereotypes innit being overacted by the usual bunch, including the jug eared squealing wolfman himself (who had a hilarious end, squeaking all the way)in an appalling deep depression guaranteeing, bleak dark, yet still supremely dull script - watch this shite. Oh and like yous like sister is like a munter skank yous tosser. My dogs better than your dogs innit! I is gonna murderalize you . Well done the under 12s.

Far from being a dreary, mundane, shoot-em-up type of movie which from the title we may well expect, this is in places a bloody shocker...who the hell would have a mind to put all this one together? Actress's and actors, well Sheridan Smith(Becky)is well up for perhaps a key role in making this movie come to life, Jack O'Connell, well in the movie you would really want to throw this kind of guy in real life off the roof!!!let's just say he portrays the part he was chosen to act well...Ralph Brown (Neville) had our full approval for what he does....anyway the film was full of action, with a twist we really did not see coming... All in all a good action film to see, it scored a good 6 out of 10 maybe more in some light...

This is a fantastic movie and even more so given it's a low budget indie entirely filmed in one small location! I have great admiration for a team that can put together something with the quality of this movie particularly with those obstacles. The direction is top notch, building suspense throughout, delivering unpredictable shocks & events and developing some lovely relationships between the people trapped in the building. The cinematography and music score are spot on lending a hand to the overall gritty industrial mood of the environment and sense of impending doom & hopelessness. But it's not at all a depressing movie. It's actually quite uplifting. I loved the characters and their believable and interesting interactions. There was some top notch acting from several people and the character of one in particular was so well acted & developed I wanted to see more of him!! Several other characters were also very likable and engaging while others were infuriating but you still didn't want them to get hurt. It's a fine movie indeed that makes you care so much for the people they've invented that you feel sad when the movie ends and they've gone. Yeah the plot had some holes here and there but they are not that significant in the context of how incredibly well this movie is put together. Most of the time it hung together well, people behaved as anyone would in the situation and it was mostly unpredictable. Special marks for having a strong female character, for not pulling punches about who "bites the bullet" and who doesn't and for the interesting side story of the alcoholic lad. And of course for the thoroughly fascinating stand-over guy. (I'll be looking for more movies with that young actor in them!!)The "reveal" and final scene could possibly have been handled better, but I've seen a lot worse and I was happy enough with it. In any case, the journey to get there was so engrossing and enjoyable it really didn't matter. The only truly (wholly) negative reviews I've read about this movie have focused on very trivial details (nit picking) &/or a couple of plot holes to proclaim this pretty much the worst movie in the history of the Universe. This seems a little petty & extreme to say the least. It's most certainly NOT the worst movie, nor is it the best but it's definitely one of the better ones, regardless of any flaws it may have. I say, you show me a movie totally without flaws and I'll find at least one anyway! :)I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and recommend it unreservedly for people who enjoy good drama, thriller, suspense, action movies etc and for those who like to see how a movie can be brilliant without the need for a huge budget and fancy effects.

A young man is chased by two thugs in the titular building and killed. Moving on a few months, the tower block is closing and the only residents that are left are in the top floor, and would you believe it? Some dirty rotter starts taking pot shots at them.And they are really good, because they only have to stick their head or hand up near the window and its instant death....Despite the fact that the premise is a bit silly, and all they had to do was to stay on the other side of the tower block, this film is a solid thriller, with great performances from Smith and O'Connell.But a lot of work could have been done on the characters. We have all the generic parts you would expect from a movie. The two Gangsters who may or may not have a secret.The husband and wife who have been there for years.A mother and child, who have just lost the man in their life.The girl who everyone thinks is scum, but really has a heart of gold.The lad who fancies the above.And the hard man who everyone hates/fears, but comes good at the end.And its if they all pick a ticket with a number on to see who gets offed first. If you take plausibility and throw it out of the window, its a good 90 minutes of no brain, tense action.Its a shame it didn't get a wider release, but released so soon after The Raid, and Attack the Block, people must have had council flat fatigue...
