The disappearance of Alice Creed

I rented this on iTunes and watched it on my iPad in Venice.  It's a British kidnap story; with domineering Vic and malleable Danny being two ex-cons who meticulously plan the kidnap of the daughter of a rich man, and demand a £2m ransom.  I liked the Britishness of it, having seen too many US thrillers over the years, and it has a sufficient number of twists and turns, crossing and double crossing, to keep you guessing.  Danny is played by Greenock born Martin Compston, who I remember watching in Ken Loach's Sweet Sixteen - in which the F word is used a remarkable 313 times.  The kidnapee is played by Gemma Arterton, a former Bond girl, and lead actress in Tamara Drewe.
