Movie Review – Battle Los Angeles (2011)
On paper Battle Los Angeles must have been a very easy project to pitch to executives as being a kind of high concept science fiction blockbuster which married the cinéma vérité style of documentary filmmaking with a kick-ass alien invasion.

To put it bluntly, getting a swift kick to the groin is more enjoyable than wading through two hours of utter boredom brought about by inane gameplay coupled by an abysmal narrative.
