The Disappearance of Alice Creed / Reviews
The New York Times
The Disappearance of Alice Creed will keep your attention, but you may walk away thinking you've seen something like it before: "Sleuth," with more sex and violence.

Los Angeles Times
A glum British kidnap movie in which writer-director J Blakeson manages to generate tension and some suspense, never rises above the mechanical and contrived, finally lapsing into the improbable.

Taut, superbly executed and consistently engrossing, The Disappearance of Alice Creed marks an auspicious feature debut for writer-director J Blakeson.

Empire Magazine
A small but perfectly formed crime drama. And, without making a fuss, a proper nail-biter, too
