This movie isn't much of a story. It's more like an extended exercise, in the sense it's like watching someone do calisthenics. Looking at Maggie Grace do jumping jacks while Lewis Carroll's classic story does sit ups has a certain appeal, but it doesn't do the viewer much good. Malice in Wonderland is but the barest figment of a plot dancing around Alice, the White Rabbit, the Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat as they're transposed into a world of seedy cabbies, street thugs, mobile whores and deus ex machina time travel. If you're a big fan of people giving the story their own tweak, you might like it. If you're looking for something that stands on its one, keep looking.The film revolves around a billionaire's amnesiac daughter (Maggie Grace). She falls in with a time obsessed cab driver named Whitey (Danny Dyer). She's desperate to get back her memory, so she takes some pills from Whitey labeled "For Your Head". He's desperate to find a present for mob boss Harry Hunt (Nathaniel Parker). The girl and Whitey rush hither and yon while other characters pop up to and fro. Then the movie reveals a secret about the girl which makes both as much and as little sense as anything else.Look. Malice in Wonderland is a flick where the Queen of Hearts is a gay guy and the Caterpillar is a white Rastafarian. Get it? That's pretty much the whole thing right there and if it tickles your fancy, you won't mind watching this. There's really nothing else going on here. The actors don't get a chance to do anything but vamp, the dialog is purposefully pointless and it all dissolves into magical realism at the end.This isn't some kind of adaptation or version of Alice in Wonderland. I can only describe it as what goes on in the head of someone who reads the story for the first time after munching on some "magic mushrooms". It's fragmentary and flittering and flows over you like ebb tide. If this review seems like it's going nowhere, that's because Malice in Wonderland gives me nowhere to go. It may as well have been in claymation and acted out with marionettes.Some motion pictures are so ghastly you want to get high after watching them in order to get the stink out of your brain. You should probably snort, inject or light up before viewing Malice in Wonderland. It might help and I can't imagine how it could hurt.

I stumbled upon this movie by sheer randomness. Never heard about it before, and picked it in lack of better things to watch. I was expecting something in the likes of "Alice in Wonderland", but found this movie to be just a tad too weird for my liking.The characters in the movie was very unique and quirky. And the actors and actresses portraying them actually did a good job with their roles, and the acting and dialogue came across the screen quite nicely. Danny Dyer, in the role of Whitey, was actually the most memorable and outstanding character in my opinion.There were a lot of really weird scenes and places throughout the movie, and I guess it is an acquired taste with a movie like this. Truth be told, then this movie wasn't particular in my liking. "Malice In Wonderland" also had some really interesting music in it.The movie is not bad, and it was actually nicely put together, from the imagery, the directing and the acting. And I am sure a movie like this will have a particular audience out there somewhere.

Malice in Wonderland kind of intrigued me because the idea and the thought of making a cockney-gangster version of the Alice in Wonderland story was a clever approach as I haven't heard of a version like it so it's unique. It could have went either way, it could have been something original yet different or it could have been a laughable idea that isn't interesting enough. Malice in Wonderland is pretty much the first. The story is clever yet average, it's clever the way they twisted the known tale of Alice but it didn't grip you in the first fifteen minutes, it took me about twenty minutes to actually get into the movie and no movie should take that long to get your attention. Even though it started quite slow, as time went on, it picked up the pace and started to get better. The acting is average, Danny Dyer plays Whitey (which is, as you've probably guessed, the equivalent to the White Rabbit) and yet again Danny Dyer is basically playing himself, as his character is the same as the other characters he's ever played in movies. However, Malice in Wonderland is the best he's ever been. The talent that shines throughout is the gorgeous Maggie Grace who plays the troubled twenty-year-old Alice. The characters were created cleverly to twist the characters in the story and added a hint of personality from the real world. The direction is done well and the cinematography is okay and it's clever the way they did it. I also loved how they borrowed some of the lines from the old movie and added them for the characters and I liked how it stuck to the original Alice in Wonderland plot and twisted it.Overall, I was on and off about it before watching but after watching, I ended up liking it. It's an above-average movie and I enjoyed it. It's such a brilliant translation and you would like this movie if you liked Alice in Wonderland.Read more reviews at: www.dudedazzmoviereviews.wordpress.com

As soon as the movie started i got the sense it would be good. I'm someone who can tell within the first ten minutes whether a movie will be worth watching. It was filmed in an awesome way. The story line was lovely, made me cry at the end. I remember thinking at the beginning- i hope the end is as beautiful as the movie begins. It was very twisty and unique. The main characters were authentic and the movie had a really beautiful ambiance about it. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it throughly. I was left with a really good feeling at the end of the movie. It is a movie which touched all of my emotions. There were some amazing characters throughout the movie- it's rarely that i see a movie where pretty much all the actors and actresses are on a par in terms of the quality they are bringing to the movie. The movie was throughly enjoyable to watch. I gave the movie 10 stars as i didn't find any faults in the movie at all and it lived up to my expectations.
