Preview: The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2010)

Synopsis:

Abducted for ransom, a young woman falls for one of her captors and hatches a plan to get a share in the stake.

• Poster: C-

Review:

I can't even begin to describe what's wrong with this poster. So many things from image selection to font, coloration, layout...each piece works poorly together without feeling like a complete failure.

• Trailer: B-; C+

Review:

The plot is an interesting one and the actors are strong in what we see, so it could end up being a better film than you might expect, though the trailer could use a little less cliche.

This second trailer makes the impression that this is an action film about a strong-willed woman trying to break free from her captors and not a character drama about the same.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• August 6, 2010
