The starting sequence is the best part of the movie. It follows the silent endeavor of two unsavory characters who cruise hardware shops to buy material for a soundproof hideout.
The plot crumbles when the characters start talking. There are only three of them, Vic, Danny, and the titular Alice. Vic and Danny being the kidnappers and Alice the young and busty victim, one can guess where this is going.
It actually goes there but by sideways and politically correct plot twists that are mostly ridiculous. Alice is unnaturally unafraid of her captors even before she discovers that one is her sort-of-boyfriend Danny, who concocted the plan to squeeze money from Alice's estranged father. And guess what? Danny and Vic are also lovers... seriously, so much love lost in this plot.
Eventually, Alice talks (so to speak) her way out and wins over her male captors, because all men are dumb compared to a woman. However, Alice fits more into the old stereotype of a woman who can f**k her way out of anything than in the alleged one of the strong, modern heroine.
