Leave your thoughts about Tower Block.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Though suspension of disbelief is a pre-requisite, [this] is a rather gripping thriller... |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateEntertaining, well written thriller enlivened by strong performances from a superb cast and a decent amount of shocks, though it's slightly let down by a disappointing finale. |
| Empire MagazineSimon CrookAn unusual, scuzzy setting for a thriller that delivers with brutal simplicity. |
| Total FilmJamie GrahamThe action and anxiety are believable, the violence sudden and the performances - especially those of Sheridan Smith as an East End Sarah Connor and Jack O'Connell as a thug-come-good - are strong. |
| Projected FiguresAnton Bitela tense siege thriller that uses its genre trappings to expose a blighted, beleaguered underclass of the here and now... Tower Block, however, is eventually undone by its own gravity, coming back down to ground level with a decidedly tepid ending. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineContains some effective jolts and engaging characters. But after setting up the premise, it doesn't really have anywhere to go. Kind of like the characters themselves |
| CineVueJoseph WalshAt very best, this cheap horror is a run-of-the-mill British exploitation flick with nothing new to say; at worst, it's classist, deeply conservative and completely narrow-minded. |
| Sky CinemaElliott Noble"Guilty pleasure" is pushing it, but you might develop a certain guilty appreciation for the way this slab of breezeblock Brit-schlock goes about its ludicrously contrived business. |
| GuardianPhelim O'NeillIt's not a bad idea for a movie, but what we get is undercooked, with poor logic and even poorer pacing conspiring to prevent any much-needed tension to build. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe ending is a letdown but this is still a very promising debut from directors James Nunn and Ronnie Thompson. |
