Gemma Arterton stars in the slick British thriller, The Disappearance Of Alice Creed.

Shes occasionally naked, occasionally seductive, and she spends an awful lot of time tied to the bed.

Sometimes you oughta be careful what you wish for.

Alice is stripped, photographed, struck.

Arterton went for it, and ably proves that shes in the ascendance.

Theyre too sketchy, these people.

3 stars

Perhaps the standard kidnapping drama tropes are so engrained that the block is mine.

Good filmmaking ought to push boundaries, which this does, and it never tries to dazzle you.

But for my taste, it is too cold, too bleak.
