It's too bad that it sacrifices the meticulous formalism of its opening for a generic story.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed has all the bad elements of its type of film. Bad acting, poorly written characters, and ridiculously bad scenarios and plot twists. When five minutes are spent trying to get rid of a bullet down the toilet, you know your film does not succeed. 1/2*

I disagree. I thought it was a great suspense film. Bad acting? Eddie Marsan was superb! It's well-shot, has a a handful of surprising twists and turns, etc. I was completely satisfied by it.

Brilliant film in my opinion. Strong acting and direction and a tight script.

I thought him trying to get rid of the bullet was thrilling :P.

Anyway, I dug this flick. Good performances.

7/10 ( B )
