While she’s been the talk of the town lately, having starred in blockbuster fare like Quantum of Solace, Clash of the Titans and Prince of Persia, Gemma Arterton also has a few small movies under her belt. The Disappearance of Alice Creed was a darling at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, and now it’s coming to theaters on August 6th!

Two kidnappers, Danny (Martin Compston) and Vic (Eddie Marsan), ex-cons planning to make a mint on the ransom for a young woman, kidnap Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), daughter of a rich businessman, and keep her hostage in an apartment which they’ve converted into a prison cell. Terrified and immobile at first, it soon becomes clear that Alice isn’t about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight.

As determined to escape as Vic and Danny are to succeed, Alice enters into a battle of wills which strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to breaking point, with Vic and Danny’s foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival.

Check out the first five minutes to this taught thriller below!

Gemma and her The Disappearance of Alice Creed co-star Martin Compston did a press junket interview for the movie with Movies.ie. Watch it in our media archive and enjoy captures in the gallery.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed is not the most obvious film that one would expect Gemma Arterton to pick after her roles in blockbusters like Quantum of Solace and Clash of the Titans.

The low-budget thriller, shot entirely on the Isle of Man, has only three characters and most of the action takes place within two rooms.

Arterton plays a millionaire’s daughter who is kidnapped and kept bound and gagged in an apartment that has been converted into a prison cell.

In the opening minutes, Arterton is stripped and handcuffed to a bed, with a hood over her head. In one scene, her character has to urinate into bottle while still tied up.

The press screenings of The Disappearance of Alice Creed have taken place and reviews are now starting to come in. Below are links to one of them, from Mirror, praising Gemma and her acting and the movie itself.

This twisted and twisting kidnap thriller is an impressive new British film, with flavourof-the-moment Gemma Arterton impressive as the feisty hostage.

In writer-director J Blakeson’s smart debut film, she is terrific as a terrified but resilient student. What is even more impressive is that this claustrophobic psychological drama stars only three actors, and largely takes place within the dingy confines of the flat where she is being held.
