The Disappearance of Alice Creed

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.

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

Blakeson is a name to watch.

...the film is an entertainment, marked by Blakeson's ability to build sustainable tension out of seemingly static situations and enlivened by his taste for a deadpan black humor.
