Such a frustrating disappointment

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Oi oi, it's Danny fahkin' Dyer in Wahndahlaind. A modern retelling of the famous 'Alice in Wonderland' story but set in an urban and seedy world with nasty cockneys, gangland warfare, drugs, pimps and pushers. This story follows Alice (Maggie Grace), who is an American law student, in London, who gets knocked down by a black cab driven by whitey (Danny Dyer) and is left with mild amnesia. A twisted and strange journey ensues while Alice gets her mind back. A low budget film with average acting becomes a mildly enjoyable film if you give this film a chance. Don't expect a knockout film and you'll be alright.

A modern take on the classic fairytale, Alice in Wonderland, set in the North East of England.I have seen many different versions of the Alice in Wonderland story, from the Disney version to a bizarre Slavic one and many in between. Not long ago the SyFy network reinvented the story yet again (I believe it would have been after this). And still more versions are on the horizon (we are still waiting for the Marilyn Manson version).Whether or not this is a great film (I would say not), it is a valiant effort towards again trying to update the story. Maggie Grace is a respectable Alice, and the characters they wrote in here were perfectly cast -- I could tell who they were supposed to be without even having to hear their names. (Maybe the names should not have been so obvious.)

'MALICE IN WONDERLAND': Three Stars (Out of Five) A modern day variation on Lewis Carroll's classic books 'MALICE IN WONDERLAND' tells the tale of a young student (played by the increasingly more impressive Maggie Grace, of 'LOST' fame) who's hit by a cab and transferred by the cab driver (played by Danny Dyer) to a bizarre alternate reality where she can't remember who she is and has no idea how to get home. Constantly in danger from a series of strange and even stranger characters she must solve the mysteries of herself and this new world before she loses her sanity, and of course she falls in love in the process.The movie is very original and different, cleverly written and uniquely directed, but the material is way too incoherent and pointless which does make it a bit dull at times. Still it's definitely like nothing you've ever seen before and is certainly memorable. It also frequently contains emotional scenes that are touching and thought provoking. The movie is a mystery and so is the overall quality of the film! It probably would be a lot better and make more sense if you watched it wasted. Describing it reminds me of the way some have described my texts, tweets and facebook updates.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95Zjdlcbe0

Jason Rothwell's script is a satiric modern day version of 'Alice in Wonderland'.Much of it is very silly & stupid,It is somehow partially redeemed in the last 15 minutes. The entire movie is only 82 minutes long before the credits,It has a fast pace thanks to director Simon Fellows. Maggie Geace & Danny Dyer are the leads and both are good. This had no American screen time & has just released to DVD. This is where it belongs. It is not a terrible film nor is it that good, It is a fairly pleasant viewing.Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 74 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
