Genuinely original interpretation of the Brit gangster and Lewis Carroll's surreal tale.

Quite apart from the fact that it mistakes sexism and homophobia for sardonic liberal rib-tickling, even at 80 minutes, the film feels like a brash, crass and boneheaded music promo that's been stretched to breaking point.

Despite a certain visual flair, Malice in Wonderland just isn't very good. The screenplay is the main problem - it's just too flat and unimaginative to justify the larger-than- life cartoon characters that populate the movie.

While you might expect a cheap quickie designed to cash in on the Tim Burton feature ... Malice in Wonderland is actually an honest and at times intriguing updating of the classic set in modern times, in the cockney underworld of South London.

Malice In Wonderland does little to remind you of the performances that once had critics and even the late great Harold Pinter crowing about his talent as [Dyer] started out on the West End stage.

An alternative take on the Lewis Carroll classic that wears out its welcome quickly, Malice in Wonderland is all style and little substance.

Based on the description it sounds like an intriguing concept. It does a decent job with the look that one would expect from a film fitting the title and description. I have no idea of how the source material goes, other than some of the characters, so I can't say how close this spin on ‘Alice in Wonderland' is. Could have used more malice.

A very confusing but a quite interesting movie with deep lesson hiding inside it. Something you need to watch!

Basically, this is a quirky take on Alice in Wonderland. But, for me. personally, it perfectly depicts the surreal world that actually exists between dusk and dawn that I spent so much time in back in my younger days.

Couldn't make it past the first twenty minutes. Stiff dialogue and it just wanders without redeeming qualities.
