Alice Creed Part 2

The insidious thing about Alice Creed, both the movie and the person, is that they are not what they appear to be on the surface.

The movie starts out as a normal kidnapping thriller, and Alice seems like a regular kidnap victim in the sense that she's frightened and panicked.

But the movie displays a great twist in its plot when it's revealed that Alice isn't exactly a wide-eyed innocent after all.

She slowly begins to work on her kidnappers (at least whenever she's not ball-gagged), trying to drive a wedge between them in any possible way she can.

And it works. Her kidnappers never really know what hit them.

And it's interesting to see the sharp contrast in how a woman who's tied down to a bed for the better part of the film's running time actually be the one person who's completely in charge.

Does this make Alice the villain? Hell, no. She didn't ask to be kidnapped, but since she was, Alice is simply doing whatever she can to stay alive in a dreadful situation. This is a great BF bondage movie, naturally, but it's also a great thriller overall. If you haven't seen The Disappearence of Alice Creed, you owe it to yourself to do so.
