Synopsis: A gang of young gangsters-wannabe face the invasion of their block by aliens.
Review: I was expecting partly a British comedy but it is not at all. We follow that gang fighting the aliens like they fight society in their daily life, but in the end they are not bad guys. The monsters design is pretty cool, all deep black with a shining mouth. The screenplay tries to focus on the evolution of the main character on his way to becoming a hero. But the movie didn't mark my mind because the behavior of the characters and their reactions are not always believable. The same goes for the young nurse that symbolizes the look of society towards the gang: she is too caricatural.
Rating: 5 /10
