Malice In Wonderland is a gangster flick that's gone bananas

10 April 2012

Anyone trying to make a modern version of Alice in Wonderland would be hard-pressed to imagine Danny Dyer as a taxi driver taking Alice on her adventures.

But Simon Fellows takes the risk, casting Maggie Grace as Alice, whom Dyer runs over, kidnaps and drugs.
