Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
After meticulously rigging a combination of claustrophobic suspense drama and icy procedural, director J Blakeson allows his movie to fall apart.

Spin
Rating: 3/4 --
And unlike many filmmakers who make movies to take pictures, Blakeson is interested in his players. His three principals deliver convincingly messy, ambiguous performances.

Globe and Mail
... An unnerving thriller that's driven by the threat of violence and the sexual proclivities of its protagonists.

The Ooh Tray
Rating: 3/4 --
The Disappearance of Alice Creed begins with a van being stolen and ends with a different stolen vehicle being driven away. In between comes a tight, efficient thriller with just three actors and at least two whopper switcheroos.

Boston Globe
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Like all top-notch best thrillers, The Disappearance of Alice Creed is a suspense-filled caper flick with enough twists and turns to leave the audience gasping and guessing until its final moments.

Toronto Star
Rating: 3/5 --
The neatness of the movie, however, hems it in. It is plotted almost to a fault.

The Age (Australia)
3 stars out of 5 -- Performances -- particularly Marsan and Arterton -- are strong and the subtle shift in the balance of power between the three characters is well-handled.

Product Description:
An abduction takes a number of unexpected turns in this independent thriller from Britain. Vic (Eddie Marsan) and Danny (Martin Compston) are a pair of ex-cons who spend several days elaborately soundproofing and reinforcing the walls of a small apartment. Vic is hard-edged and domineering with a fierce suspicious streak, while Danny is weak-willed and will do nearly anything Vic asks of him. We soon learn what Vic and Danny were planning as they grab a young woman off the street, take her back home, and tie her to the bed. The young woman is named Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), and she comes from a wealthy family; after taking some snapshots of her, Vic fires off a ransom demand to her father, asking for two million pounds in exchange for Alice's safe return. Vic is convinced he's executing the perfect crime, but it becomes apparent that not everything is going as planned; Alice is smarter and more resourceful than he imagined, and Danny's allegiances can be manipulated in ways Vic never anticipated. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ALICE CREED was the first feature film from director J Blakeson.
