Malice in Wonderland

What's more bizarre and surreal then Alice In WonderlandMalice in Wonderland, of course!  In this flick, Alice is hit by a Taxi driver named Whitey at the start. I can dig it. In Wonderland, the rabbit (Whitey get it?) is a device to get Alice into Wonderland as well, so it makes sense.  Only this time Wonderland is populated by the strangest gangsters you'll see. The person you think is the Red Queen isn't, instead at Alice's "trial", you get the Red Mafia Boss.  Yeah...
Maggie Grace gives a good and credible performance but Danny Dyer has the best  performance and lines in the movie by far.
The movie isn't bad, but it has a major problem. The characters are fanastic (most of them anyway). The visuals are striking and trippy. Sounds good, so far right? The problem is that the plot under-performs and becomes a jumbled mess at times. The film more driven by its outlandish characters to have reached its full potential.
I don't have a star system, so I'd say I'd have to give it about it about three homosexual flamingoes out of a possible five.
