The Disappearance of Alice Creed

By Dan ⋅ July 29, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s always nice to be surprised. Maybe I should rephrase that: it’s always nice to be surprised by a film. These days there’s an awful lot of tired generic crap out there. Cinema with no soul, no bite, no passion. Every now and then you get low budget little movies that pop up and blow [...]
