"The Disappearance of Alice Creed" = the kidnapping of Alice Creed. Who is Alice Creed? The 20-something years old daughter of a wealthy guy willing to pay for her life. Even though the girl doesn't seem to get along well with her father. Oops, spoiler ... Let's change lanes. Who's the kidnapper? The kidnapper is two kidnappers. One cold and meticulous, the other more emphatic to the victim. Oops, another spoiler ... (almost). Everything goes sharp. The plan is ready and carried on flawlessly. At least until ... Until ... How should I continue without spoilers?
I assume that's a characteristic of an intelligent script. You can't really say more without stumbling fast into a potential spoiler. And as a sort of supra-spoiler, this can be very clearly explained: lots of twists; more or less predictable. If the movie would've had a bigger budget (= a bit better on the technical side), or some scenes would've been less rough (not that it's extreme but I wasn't in the mood for violence), then I guess I would've also had a better opinion on it. In any case, the overall result is quite good for just a 3 member band = the kidnappers and the victim, of whom we don't know who survives up to the end ... Oops, this was also a spoiler :) ...
