Brisk, brutal and effective – that describes the shocker opening of The Disappearance of Alice Creed. Two men fortify a nondescript British apartment so it can serve as a prison, and then kidnap a woman and tie her to a bed. Before there’s even time to react, we’re plunged into a very nasty situation – but not a simple one.
This is a thriller that is both frightening and deeply satisfying. At the heart of its twists and jolts is an understanding of how real people act in desperate situations. Vic (Marsan) is hard and remorseless, but his dominance over the younger Danny (Compston) turns out to be shaky.
And although Alice (Arterton) is terrorised by the plight she wakes up to, her feral intelligence takes over and shifts the balance of power again.
