For a movie junkie, nothing quite beats the feeling of delaying sleep because you don\u2019t want to take a break from what you\u2019re watching.<\/p>\n

The Disappearance of Alice Creed was one fun ride. But of course, expectedly from a kidnapping plot, it had its uncomfortable and disturbing moments.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go over the plot for this British flick:<\/p>\n

Two ex-convicts, Vic (Eddie Marsan) and Danny (Martin Compston), kidnap Alice (Gemma Atterton) – the daughter of a rich guy – after some very thorough planning. They bring her to the secure location, lock her up and make sure she doesn\u2019t have any opportunities to escape.<\/p>\n

And while a two-man team has its advantages, it presents a set of weak points, especially when kidnapper Danny seems to be attracted to the beautiful victim. And while we think we know what\u2019s gonna happen from the trailer <\/a>(and our vast experience of watching kidnapping movies), we\u2019re still in for a couple of surprising (and enjoyable) twists.<\/p>\n

Sure, the movie doesn\u2019t provide answers to every question the twists cause, but it does entertain from the first point to the next.<\/p>\n

The ending is also satisfactory though a different outcome wouldn\u2019t have disappointed either. Let\u2019s say the ending is the least surprising part.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by J. Blakeson, this 2009 flick is also a great study for screenwriters and filmmakers who want to write a solid low-budget action\/thriller.<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve offered my non-spoiling two cents about the film, let\u2019s move to the fun bit for those who have seen the movie or just don\u2019t mind spoilers:<\/p>\n
