Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Spending most of this thriller gagged and manacled (sometimes naked) to a bed, Gemma Arterton certainly draws the short straw in this sometimes gripping, often preposterous, but always compelling three-hander.
Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston methodically, and rather expertly, kidnap Alice (Arterton), the daughter of a millionaire. We never learn who her father is. After locking Alice in a purposely soundproofed flat, the two kidnappers' plan starts to unravel. The always excellent Marsan holds this tense film together as the intense, hardened criminal, Vic – but Arterton deserves credit for, rather courageously, letting it, well, all hang out.
