Former prison cell mates Danny (Martin Compston) and Vic (Eddie Marsan) kidnap Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton) for £2 million ransom. Vic is the controlling lead who has a detailed plan. Alice is carefully restrained by the pair. Alice catches Danny by surprise and he reveals a shocking secret.This movie has a couple of big twisty reveals. They are big, twisty, and unforeseen. There is a problematic aspect with the first reveal that I don't buy. Alice shouldn't react that way although it could be that she's flustered into making a mistake. The ending also has some more twists and turns. I may prefer a more straight up action sequence. This is overall a good tiny confined thriller.

Can you make a tout, suspenseful flick with only three actors and four locations? It seems you can, unless you work in Hollywood. Then the overblown budget and ADHD pyrotechnics get in the way of something to say. So, back to the matter at hand, 3 people and the story full of twists and turns, granted little self-indulgent, but extremely creative. Strong, motivated actors keep all of this fragile fabric together. Because dear filmmakers, it always is about the story and relationships, nothing else can replace that. You can detonate the whole city, crash thousand vehicles and still induce excessive yawning. Some of us, faithful movie buffs, are over 14 and still have attention span. So please, indulge us occasionally.

But I didn't expect a good, tense film to break out. I figured this would just be some trash straight to DVD film, that I just skim through, laugh at the ridiculous stuff, see Gemma and call it a day.But right from the opening shot it was a lot better than I thought it'd be. It was tense and menacing and all without a word being spoken. It didn't get as ugly as I was afraid it would from the opening, but it got a lot more interesting. I kept thinking I knew what type of story they were telling and they kept surprising me.All 3 gave great performances, and I liked that it was only the 3 of them the whole time. Well written, well shot, well acted and I liked the ending...especially with the clever credit. It's much better than the sum of Gemma's bits, and that's saying a lot.

Alice Creed dragged by two masked men in a van, then placed in a room with padded walls and tied to a bed with handcuffs. The kidnappers are after a big ransom, which they expect from her father. But things do not go quite as planned, and soon the victim finds that one of the two criminals is not unknown. It starts a big confusion with an uncertain outcome.Casually, the story takes us through simple but devilishly effective twists to heights of suspense, downplaying the role of each of the three protagonists, in turn changing role. The terms "victim", "hangman" and "accomplice" here are undermined, leaving the audience stunned by the last surprise. Always remaining credible, despite a story about the razor's edge, it almost closed (the action is limited to a room, a kitchen, a shed and wood), owes much to the quality of the interpretation of the three actors.Some scenes really stand on their toes and the director even manages to make the audience laugh, despite a rather dramatic base.The psychology of the characters is fairly extensive, leaving us in the most total about the real intentions of each question. The interpretation of these is rather successful, despite a few details that it's hard to believe. But the director and maybe wanted to highlight the strangeness of the atmosphere of the film: an oppressive atmosphere, in perfect agreement with the narrow apartment where the two men have taken up residence. The film also plays a lot of silence, further increasing the pressure.However, it is too much pressure we can criticize the film. The story seems to get bogged down, and because of the pace is a bit too slow, you wonder if the director really knows where he is going ... The atmosphere may sometimes literally crush the viewer. And even if this is deliberate on the part of Blakeson, we left with the impression that he may have wanted to make a little too ... Result: a few wrong notes, but an effective thriller throughout.7.3/10
