Former Princess of Persia, Gemma Arterton, comes down off her throne for first-time director J Blakeson's thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed. Without giving too much away, the action in this twist-filled indie British kidnapping drama is more or less confined to one location and three characters. This may not seem like much, but Blakeson's visual choices, inspired by Lynch and Kubrick, and smart storyline keep viewers on their toes. An impressive first effort, which also features actor Eddie Marsan (Happy-Go-Lucky, 21 Grams), we suggest grabbing a date and seeing Alice Creed before she vanishes from theaters.

Alice Creed says:

Two men fortify a nondescript British apartment so it can serve as a prison, and then kidnap a woman and tie her to a bed. Before there's even time to react, we're plunged into a very nasty situation, but not a simple one.
