Variety's Dennis Harvey reviews "Attack on Paradise," a Belgian action thriller conceived by and starring Saïd Boumazoughe, who takes a "created by" credit alongside director Bob Colaers. The film, likened to "Die Hard" with echoes of "Assault on Precinct 13" and "High-Rise," is described as a genre exercise with little originality but plenty of energy and style, positioning it as a potential breakthrough for Belgian action cinema abroad.

The story follows Suleyman, wrongfully arrested by corrupt police and released from prison seven years later, who returns to his Antwerp housing estate to find it has become the fortified headquarters of crime boss "Prince," played by Achmed Akkabi. His reunion with his mother is cut short when police launch a long-planned raid on the building just as he arrives, trapping him in escalating violence and forcing an alliance with a cop, Yasmine, played by Clara Claymans, as they fight their way through the tower block.
