A return to format!
Last night I sat sown with a couple of (rather sleepy and easily distracted) friends and watched (The Disappearance of) Alice Creed.
Premise: Posh girl kidnapped, for cash.
A simple story allows for good character development, but that is enough actual review(ie) stuff. I will now try to cram the whole film into as few words as possible. Wish me luck.
Ok,
Film opens. Two men buy lots of stuff. They use stuff to soundproof and prepare flat for kidnapping. Men get into van, drive to posh bit of town. Get Alice, put Alice in van, take Alice from van, chain Alice to bed, strip Alice naked. They take photos of naked Alice (for kidnapping purpose) and dress her again. Men talk. Alice needs toilet, she pisses in a bottle. One man goes out. Alice needs a poo. Second man tries to deal with it. Alice hits second man on the head with a bucket and takes his gun. Second man is in fact Alice's boyfriend and explains that he is doing this to get money from Alice's father, who has recently cut her off. See agrees to get tied up again and have a share in the money. First guy gets back, everything is fine. First man and Second man kiss a lot. Second man is playing both Alice and First man against each other. First man goes out again. Second man starts having sex with Alice. Alice tricked him and ties him up. She tries to escape but can't and he ties her up again. First man comes back, suspects second man. Finds out the second man knows Alice and is going to take all the money. They get everything ready for the exchange. First man shoots second, but doesn't kill him. First man gets shot by second. First dies and second leaves with all the money. Alice, until now tied up, gets keys off first mans corpse and finds second man dead from earlier injury and drives off with all the cash.
Obviously this has done the film no justice what so ever and has completely wasted your time.
