The Disappearance of Alice Creed movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
A.O. Scott, At the Movies: Worthless. Read more
Mike Hale, New York Times: Will keep your attention, but you may walk away thinking you've seen something like it before. Read more
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out: Marsan does countless riffs on a menacing glare, and Arterton is always a treat to look at. Read more
Noel Murray, AV Club: Blakeson finds ways to make good use of his assets: three talented actors, a few evocative locations, and a script that springs like a mousetrap. Read more
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe: The Disappearance of Alice Creed begins with a van being stolen and ends with a different stolen vehicle being driven away. In between comes a tight, efficient thriller with just three actors and at least two whopper switcheroos. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: A compact British drama that does more with three people and a few modest settings than most movies do with computerized bloat and a cast of hundreds. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: It wants to be a movie about the intersection between criminality and the class system but, for that, it could have used a bit more class. Read more
Christopher Kelly, Dallas Morning News: J Blakeson springs surprises that force us to re-evaluate everything that's come before. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It's like Deathtrap with two twists instead of 12. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: Alice Creed sucks you in immediately with a beautifully edited opening sequence. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: All the considerable effort that went into making this film cannot finally offset its aura of pointless morbidity. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A jolting little thriller, as sharp and nasty as a switchblade. Read more
Ian Buckwalter, NPR: A skilled cast is Blakeson's greatest asset in his attempt to elevate his material above its pulpy limitations. All three are better actors than this sort of movie might call for. Read more
V.A. Musetto, New York Post: J Blakeson keeps the suspense level high for the first hour or so, but he then indulges in a few plot twists that strain credibility. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A pulsating revelation on many levels at once. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's refreshing to see someone putting the needs of the part over her image, and this is far from a halfhearted performance. It's gritty and gutsy. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: And unlike many filmmakers who make movies to take pictures, Blakeson is interested in his players. His three principals deliver convincingly messy, ambiguous performances. Read more
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: Like all top-notch best thrillers, The Disappearance of Alice Creed is a suspense-filled caper flick with enough twists and turns to leave the audience gasping and guessing until its final moments. Read more
