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.

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.
