The Disappearance Of Alice Creed Competition has now closed
Check back in again soon for more great competitions!
In The Disappearance Of Alice Creed, two ex-cons kidnap a young woman and plan to make a mint on the ransom. Their hostage is Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), daughter of a rich businessman, chosen by Danny and Vic as their passport to a better life. Terrified and immobile at first, it soon becomes clear that Alice isn’t about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight.
As determined to escape as Vic and Danny are to succeed, Alice enters into a battle of wills which strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to breaking point, with Vic and Danny’s foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival.
A taut, emotionally intense thriller, the debut feature from writer/director J Blakeson eschews genre convention, generating tension from the sexual and psychological ties that bind captive to captors. Only at the Movies September 9

Attack the Block The alien invasion genre has been hit particularly
hard of late with the likes of Cloverfield, District 13, Battle: Los
Angeles and Aliens vs Cowboys, each one more mediocre than the last and
culminating in the downright awful Skyline. So kudos to director, Joe
Cornish, for at least trying something a little different.

In Time In Time is a competent action/thriller in the Hollywood mould but coming
from director, Andrew Niccol, who also wrote and directed Gattaca and
wrote The Truman Show, it is disappointingly light.
