Story Line: Alice (Keke Palmer) yearns for freedom as an enslaved person on a rural Georgia plantation under brutal and disturbed owner Paul (Jonny Lee Miller). After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway--and soon discovers that the actual year is 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation. Inspired by true events, "Alice" is a modern empowerment story that traces Alice's journey through the post-Civil Rights Era American South. Alice is enslaved on a 19th-century-style plantation in Georgia, owned by Paul Bennet. 

Attempting to escape, she runs through a vast forest and emerges onto a Georgia highway in 1973. She meets Frank, a truck driver who helps her adjust to the truth of the time period, and that she has been misled her whole life. After reading some books explaining when and how all other plantations ended, and tracking down Rachel, the ex-wife of her "owner", she is able to convince Frank about the plantation. Inspired by Pam Grier's character in the film Coffy, she persuades Frank to go back with her, so that she can exact revenge on Bennet and free the rest of the "domestics" being held there. We do, however, get to see Alice beaten, dragged, and hogtied to a pole before being put in a hideous facial contraption. Just before releasing her days later, Bennet pisses in her face. 

We get to see that, too. However, Ver Linden’s camera gets shy when, in retribution, Alice shoves a broken piece of glass into her enslaver’s eye before escaping. It’s a premonition that the righteous Black revenge the trailer promised is going to be profoundly dissatisfying. “Alice” is not concerned with African-American viewers sick and tired of slavery scenes and downtrodden narratives. Instead, it’s unwilling to upset white viewers who consider themselves racial allies. A movie like this should unapologetically provoke their discomfort. It would have if it were made in the year it takes place. After what seems like an eternity, Alice returns to face Bennet. I won’t spoil the climax for you, but I will say that Coffy, Foxy Brown, and Cleo Jones would have all been more ruthless than Alice is. Despite seeing a Blaxploitation film before embarking on her quest, she learned nothing about how they work nor what they’re about at all. The makers of this worthless piece of trash didn’t learn that either.
