Tower Block

Tower Block is a British action thriller set in a high-rise council estate scheduled for demolition. The last remaining residents of the top floor have been living under a cloud since witnessing a murder a year earlier, when fear kept them from speaking to the police. Now an unseen sniper is targeting them one by one, turning the building into a sealed maze of traps. With no help coming from outside and the shots muffled, the survivors must work out who is hunting them and find a way out before they are picked off.

The film was directed by Ronnie Thompson and James Nunn, both of whom made their feature debut here; Thompson went on to direct The Hatton Garden Job in 2017, while Nunn built a career in low-budget action cinema with titles such as the two Marine sequels and the One Shot films. James Moran wrote the screenplay, and the cast is led by Sheridan Smith, Ralph Brown, Russell Tovey, Jack O'Connell, Jill Baker and Julie Graham.

Released in September 2012, Tower Block runs 90 minutes and was produced in the United Kingdom by Tea Shop & Film Company and Creativity Media. On TMDB it holds a rating of 5.9 out of 10 from 196 votes, indicating a modest reception among viewers on that platform.
