An enjoyable modern horror film, which sees a soon-to-be-demolished tower block and its remaining residents witness a 15-year-olds murder and do nothing.
One resident however does try to intervene but is beaten and refuses to discuss the matter with the police.
Sometime later residents awaken to find themselves being shot one by one by a marksman, and with no phones, internet, and no means of escape they do what they can to survive.
My grumbles are, that when they climb down the lift shaft and try to open a door that is blocked, they don't try to even open the other door.
Also, the drug dealer survived, which is sad as he was a really nasty piece of work, yet the nice guy fell to his death!
Sheridan Smith is outstanding in the film as is, Ralph Brown, Julie Graham. are Jill Baker

Despite having some potential, 'Tower Block' makes for a cringe watch.
The writing, in my opinion at least, is the problem here. There's a decent cast list and a respectable enough premise, but things fall apart when the characters act and talk - the dialogue is iffy, while some of the character decisions are very odd.
Sheridan Smith (Becky) and Jack O'Connell (Kurtis) are two capable leads and give solid performances, though their roles are average - especially Kurtis, who is so over-the-top at times it's painful to see.
As noted, the plot is alright - the way it's written isn't. The ending is rather poor, especially with the 'twist' (?). I wanted to enjoy this, and in a few minor moments I did, but all the negative parts unfortunately weigh it down tremendously.
If you want a story regarding this type of building, then I'd recommend 2011's 'Attack the Block'. This one, though not atrocious, isn't all that good sadly.

Great heart-stopping hook that sets the disquieting tone for the rest of the film. Sheridan Smith is excellent. *Avoid reading the spoiler blurb and just got with the ride!

It is sad how so many had to die. There are just some individuals think they are above the law carrying out self-righteous illegal gruesome evil vigilante shit. When it is only an excuse to fill their evil lust to murder and torture others. We tried to tell officials, especially the ones that had been in office for 28 years or more, that criminals and corrupt people/gangs/cliquish groups were orchestrating illegal harm against many in southern ca! Some were even capitalizing off of the attacks and organized unlawful criminal destructive actions. But they would not listen to us some also became a part, jumping on board hurting the victims and targets! Thugs think that when victims and targets tell on them that gives thugs/perpetrators a legal right to harm victims and targets more/retaliate! ca government officials would not help! Too many people that were corrupt evil and unfair would use our resources abuse their power & positions to orchestrate illegal criminal played out drama, actions, and harm, even causing lethal harm at times! Then they go to church or their self-righteous meeting to sing to God! demons in sheep clothing! Reporting, complaining, requesting, and whistleblowing if for protection, correction, to stop the evilness and to help the victims/targets that they organized the evilness, illegal attacks, violent harm, and destructive intentional actions meant to destroy just because they didn't like them, or wanted to cover up the unlawful harm the thugs/perpetrators/corruption did prior, to shut up, and to retaliate!!! These actions speak in volume; we don't want these type of people being in positions where it affects others and can take control to hurt others!!! The people that didn't pull the trigger on a gun but helped orchestrated and or stood by to watch is as guilty and should be held accountable! Too many people were/are being hurt egregiously in ca no one has the right to harm us when we complain or tell! Southern ca have vast amounts of corrupt. Like this movie, the killer/thug/police really didn't have a reason just a thug wanted to kill and treated others like they didn't have a right to live! Just like in this movie, so many victims are trapped not getting legal help and support from the harm! Corrupt evil people are allowing the unethical and criminal actions to continue until it got way out of hand! They have done too much, for too long, and went just too far!!! Thugs searched high and low, hoping they can find something to harm & suppress the victims, targets, and whistleblowers. If they cannot find anything, the thugs corrupt criminal & evil people will orchestrate something so the victims/targets/whistleblowers possibly won't get help or will not be listened to! These women in our government didn't care for Americans, and it has been this way for a long time! They turn their heads ignore and or be a part of the criminal harm!!! Treat Americans that need help like they don't matter!!! This thugs just wanted to kill!
