A good idea must be accompanied by youthfulness.

why dont they name it "Defend the Block"
i think it's better....


I still want to mention that the
monster image is weak, good, good, good. Although it can be understood that the color contrast is an insinuation to the British sliver, the image is too dog-like, and it contrasts sharply with the attack power of the spike spray described in the movie. So embarrassing.

The idea of ​​the whole film is very good. The character positioning and detailed description are also in place. This is the most comfortable part of the small-cost film, the details are real and interesting.
Because the niche is not paid attention to and lacks advertising investment, the benefit of lack of investment is actually less fetters. What it is is what it is. The film depicts a group of children in the neighborhood, then they only have one dollar left on their VANS bag to ride a BMX mobile phone, and no close-up of any brand is given. Their worries are not like adults to save the earth or not. All they think about is, firstly, this block is covered by me, and secondly, I can't let the police know about this matter.
Rooted in a simple and accurate positioning will make the film very substituting. The design of each character is true and reliable, and the logic can be followed. After 90 minutes, you will unconsciously acknowledge the feasibility of the whole story in your heart. It's reliable.

In addition, the
director of the inquiry feature is a screenwriter background and a debut feature film.
When I watched the movie, I vaguely felt that it was a place, as expected!
For movie fans, most of the directors’ first films are very enjoyable, because they were not yet famous at that time, and more importantly, they have not been controlled by the rhythm of the film industry of process and production chain. Waiting and watching is more about whether your story is good or not, whether your ideas are new or not, rather than whether your director is liked because of XXX, so you must go to XXX.
Many big directors will get tired of fame to a certain extent, and the things they produce must be logical. "Shameless Bastard" is a good film, but he is not Quentin without scalping. This is also the restriction of Quentin until now. Newcomers are not the same, newcomers can let their freedom be unreliable. The camera position, light, setting, dialogue, clues connection method, all do not follow the routine, ATB is such a film, the whole film is full of the youthfulness of the debut, and the weird lens choices. Sometimes the focus of a literary film is lost, and sometimes the blockbuster is cut continuously. The film’s dialogue is also extremely street, but the story is a sci-fi film that deviates from the street style. If this is placed in the hands of the director, investors will surely say with a beard. The slang is serious and will affect the box office. Fortunately, as a well-known screenwriter & new director, no one gave Joe too much harshness, so that such a very local London niche movie with very local details took shape.
When watching a movie, my mind will flash through the crazy shop assistant or Sean from time to time, and even the inexplicable dialogue style includes the smoking gun gag. All the debuts that have handed in beautiful answer sheets, I mean all similar debuts, will have a youthful breath that cannot be restrained. The confusion and exploration in this breath means that any fan who can't make such a movie by himself It is a real feeling that can resonate, like a student on the first day of work. The kind of curiosity and awe, with the spirit of groping and not afraid to meet, makes this film stimulate the audience's hormones all the time.
This is the case with the falling water dog, the blood labyrinth, the sunny day, the recent moon and the ninth district, and the same with the block wars. Different genres cannot conceal the freshness of the tender green grass. The common point of these films is that they do not follow the rules and do not know the boundaries. Every time a special and brilliant exploration in the frame of the genre film makes people feel stunned and loudly applauded, Jiang Shan Dai Talented people come out of this world to be better.


The director was born as a screenwriter. He knows how to write a story that is self-evident and applauded. It is well connected, develops smoothly, and has no logical flaws. I really like the explanation of the last secretion element. It perfectly explains the reasons why two brilliant children are not injured and the embarrassment of the buddies trapped in the trash can. At the same time, it makes people feel reasonable, because there is something in nature. I also like the addition of Moses's room decoration to his personality, the slow motion with dazzling skills, and the spoof of the rice-shaped flag at the end.

However, this film also makes me feel that it has obvious weaknesses. While the director has a high score in the story, he has too little control over the rhythm of the scene and the dialogue. This also shows that a good writer is not necessarily a good reciter.
The film has many British-style humorous sections, but the narrative rhythm is completely wrong, resulting in the comedy atmosphere not coming out at all. The cannabis sordid male Bruce is a very failed portrayal. All the role of the characters is to shake the burden, but there is still no place for me. Unconsciously laughed out loud.
It was found that the car was destroyed over the wall to call Fat Nick, and the hiphop man was found at the elevator door with a bloody face, and the smoke was hit by a stick on the face by Pest.
And other passages, such as a group of people going to a girl's house, and a thin girl talking about it. The comic effect carried by these paragraphs often makes people laugh in other stories, but in this film it makes people feel artificial and laughable.
The most horrible thing is that everyone can't laugh but think about why they would laugh when they read such passages before. A bad magician not only smashes his own job, but also reveals the magic of others. I hope that the director will learn how to handle the size like his friend Edgar Wright. Shaun and hot fizz are really excellent teachings in British humor.

Another problem lies in my opinion, action cohesion << story cohesion.
If a good action movie is a game, it must be a real-time sparring content. The top priority of a bad action movie is to become a turn-based game.
A beast leaped over, and then it stopped moving. Wait for the protagonist to stand up, turn sideways, throw the car towards it, and then it jumps up again.
Such action content appeared many times in the film. According to popular saying, the filming was too fake. .
This is also a point worth pointing out.

In short, it is a rare piece. Well, I don’t know if 800W is really a low-cost operation. More than 8000W can be used to shoot and eavesdrop. . .
I think if the monster’s image does not appear, will it save a lot of effect costs, and using the monster’s first person to kill in a specific scene is definitely more terrifying than the appearance of a green Tibetan mastiff. .

    It doesn't really make sense. The only bright spot was the little kids who shot the alien monsters with water guns.
