Tower Block (2012)

A British movie set almost entirely inside a building that’s notorious for its shitty lighting and pissy corners didn't fill me with optimism, but Tower Block squeezed every last drop of urban grit out of the story mop and used the gloomy setting as a tool, so kudos to all involved.
The cast are mostly believable and nicely varied; they represent the smudgy part of the societal spectrum that people in a three bedroom semi-detached with front and rear garden are completely blind to.
It’s aka ‘Thon Big-ass Blocka Flats’ in some parts of the country, probably.
