In this dense psychological thriller by acclaimed writer Paul Abbott (Cracker, Touching Evil), an upper-class man and a catering waitress are brought together over a corpse. Not knowing what else to do, they dispose of the body. As events unfold, seeds of mistrust spread until they threaten to destroy everyone in their reach. Caught in their relentless advance are two unlikely characters, portrayed by critically acclaimed actor Michael Kitchen and Academy Award® nominee Sophie Okonedo.

very good

This one I rented ,not knowing what to expect. But when I watched it, I really didn't want it to end. This was a very good movie. Very suspensful,and believable. Just when you think somebody is busted ,they squirm away in a very believable manner. It's not all fake and contrived like all these movies these days. Everybody seems so calm and collected in movies, but not this one. And the most shocking thing about this movie is that it was made for TV in the UK. A TV movie ,that in my opinion is better than 90% of crap put out here. Very well worth checking out.

Quirky thriller . . .

About the time you think you know what you're watching - a thriller about a young woman who discovers a killer disposing of a body - this quirky story begins taking odd and unexpected turns. After a while, you begin to realize that it's not all "dead" serious. There is dark humor around the edges, and the two protagonists become partners in a cover-up that keeps threatening to come unraveled.

The man (Michael Kitchen) claims the death was accidental, though the body, it turns out, belongs to a man having an affair with his wife. The young woman (Sophie Okonedo), who has no reason to get involved, does anyway - and thereby hangs the tale. Paul Abbott, writer for the series "Cracker," keeps the complications piling up as revelation follows revelation, and each of the characters gets into and out of one predicament after another. Kitchen, parodying all the grimaces and facial contortions of his likeably reticent detective Foyle ("Foyle's War"), gets to muddle on under the influence of a few too many Valium. Cleverly plotted, this British TV drama, is entertainingly implausible in just the way it should be.

A little disappointed

I loved Alibi when I saw it on TV as a 3-part series. So, you can imagine my disappointment when I discover chunks of the story have been edited out !! And unfortunately this does detract from a great storyline. However, maybe you won't notice the missing threads but I think it's very sad that some lovely elements have been lost. Otherwise, what can I say, Michael Kitchen is brilliant

Good.

Most entertaining !!
Quality of film/picture not so good , but I still enjoyed it.

Alibi with Michael Kitchen

I found this a fascinating movie, however, I would have enjoyed it much more if I could have heard or understood the dialogue. I was very disappointed that it had no closed-captions or sub-titles. The spoken lines were very garbled and I could hardly understand a single word. I was able to understand the basic story, but did not get the ending, as I could not make out what the characters were saying. I would love to see a version with sub-titles if there is one available. I think Michael Kitchen is great and it seemed he was superb in portraying his role in this movie.
