Trailers are a great way to get yourself pumped for a film, but do you know what’s even better? The first five minutes of one. Do you know what’s even better than that? The first five minutes of a film that’s "exceptionally powerful and terrifying." Coming Soon has the first five minutes of J Blakeson’s The Disappearance of Alice Creed and guess who’s the very first person quoted in the bar on the bottom?
I caught this one during the Tribeca Film Festival and really could go on and on about how much I enjoyed it, but I’ll just leave it at that for now. If you want to know more you can check out my full review here and/or my interview with Blakeson here. Now for some Alice Creed 101. Actually, this clip is really Alice Creed 101; it shows Vic and Danny (Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston) preparing for their new houseguest--er, hostage. The plan is to snatch up Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton) and hold her for ransom, but, of course, there’s a lot more to it than that. Find out all of the details for yourself when the film hits theaters on August 6th.
