A modern take on the classic fairytale, Alice in Wonderland, set in South East England.An American law student in London. Knocked down by a black cab, she wakes with amnesia in a world that's a million miles from home - Wonderland. We follow her adventures as she's dragged through an underworld filled with twisted individuals and the lowest low-lifers, by the enigmatic cab driver, Whitey. She needs to find out who she is, where she's from and use what wits she has left to get back home in one piece. As her journey progresses she discovers nothing is what it seems, realizes that fate and life are terminally entwined, and finds true love lurking in the unlikeliest place.

The wrong turn Wonderland. The grit the grim of underworld crime is this ‘Alice in Wonderland’, in comparison to the hoity-toity Lewis Carroll-phile royalty of the original. London nighttime is the looking glass and the wrong place wrong time situation you end up in. Extra points for casting crime lords and misfits as the characters in this story, but Alice is the lawyer Cinderella type, facing real hazards in this fable . A trove of B-list UK actors, and the on-location low budget production saves this film from the downfall of that other Tim Burton epic. The added air of fantasy mystery saves this mock wonderland from any dread or phobia induced suffering. A lost gem of the millennium years.
