Another gritty Brit kidnap crime flick (is that alliterative enough for you?).
The story starts off very slick, with a crisp and efficient grabbing of the eponymous Ms Creed, bundling her into a van, whisking her to a safe house, handcuffing her to a bed, taking proof pictures, getting rid of their "work" clothes, sending a ransom email, and keeping her hydrated.
Everything's progressing according to plan, but then things start to crack (as they have to, otherwise there wouldn't be a film).
There are only 3 characters in the film, which (when done properly) adds to the intensity. Standing out is the slimy and threatening Eddie Marsan.
The film is totally engrossing, with completely believable characters, dialog and storyline. There are more twists than a corkscrew, and I'm not going to tell you about any of them.
