Member Rating:  
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. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

It's almost like watching a play. Most of the movie in two rooms and only involves 3 actors. A very well done film and excellent acting keeps your interest till the end.

This movie was pretty darn good! It's a very straight forward no nonsense intense little thriller with some suspenseful moments. Just 3 actors in the whole film (Good Actors) plus add a few twist and turns and you have a very good flick!! Definitely kept my interest from beginning to end. I Recommend it.

Michelle F.

this is an interesting movie, more so than i expected. the majority of it takes place at a house where the girl is being held. the tension didnt build much and there were a couple twists you could see coming; more importantly a few that were really unexpected. enjoyed it.

This movie was pretty good. Strange and not what you would expect but worth watching.....not the best out there but if you have a few hours to spare and cant find something else...why not. :)

Rose and Fred L.

so-so. Kinda weird.

Yes   |   No


Gregory A.

The characters are undeserving of any sympathy so you wind up not caring about them or the movie. The unexpected turns are contrived and unconvincing.

Yes   |   No


David B.

Movie was meh...definitely expected more of a twist (if you can even consider that a twist), but it turned into just your regular drama/action ending.

Yes   |   No


Scott S.

Masterful,brutally efficient, gripping, tension-filled, flawless, high octane suspense...NOT!!! TDOAC left me feeling used & abused. I even wasted a nice cold brew on thisborefest!

    This is a very good movie considering there was only three characters in the whole movie. It had a lot of twists and suspense. The love triangle is a little strange (you will know what I mean when you see it). All in all a movie worth watching. I believe you will enjoy it even though you will go "EWWWW" in one part of it.

    Yes   |   No

    This was an excellently entertaining movie. The three actors were very good at making their roles believable in every way. The unexpected was in abun-dance in this one. Worth the watch for any movie buff.
