TIFF Picks 09: J Blakeson’s The Disappearance of Alice Creed
TIFF’s Cameron Bailey mentions…”Blakeson keeps all the players and parts of his tight little thriller kicking along at a ferocious pace. Not since Reservoir Dogs has a hostage standoff been handled with such intelligence.” Gut feeling tells me that this feature debut and the threesome of actors might be worth a gamble.

Buzz: TIFF’s Cameron Bailey mentions…”Blakeson keeps all the players and parts of his tight little thriller kicking along at a ferocious pace. Not since Reservoir Dogs has a hostage standoff been handled with such intelligence.” Gut feeling tells me that this feature debut and the threesome of actors might be worth a gamble.
The Gist: “Creed” tells the tale of two kidnappers who carry out an immaculately planned kidnap after targeting rich girl Gemma Arterton. But things quickly unravel as the kidnap plays out with all three characters revealing an agenda that ends in a tense power play of greed, love, sex and violence.
