Reviews

vladimir_tsalyuk I was pleasantly surprised with Ryan's acting ability here, he looked really emotional and for a comedic actor this is by far the best transition job ive seen for a drama role. Speedman was okay. Dawson is ugly as ever and still cannot act. Evertyhting about this abduction was the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen. Shes basically free to leave whenever but shes afraid they'll kill her father so she stays with the abductor the rest of her life AHAHAHAHAHA. Oh and whats really unbelievable is how someone as tall and good looking as Reynolds would be married to someone as ugly as his wife in this movie. This was definatly so bad its good

toneybrooks2003 Sometimes the writer shouldn't direct. Sometimes the writer shouldn't even write. This film is a shambles, a true mess.

Leofwine_draca THE CAPTIVE is a Canadian kidnap thriller with an average plot, a decent cast, and pitiful execution. The problem with this one is that, rather than being told chronologically, this is all in non-linear fashion so there's a scene from one time frame followed by another from a totally different time frame, and so on. This non-linear sequencing has no merit at all and instead makes this a chore to watch. I have no idea what they thought they were adding to the film by including it. The rest is straightforward, with actors such as Rosario Dawson, Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Durand working hard to invest the viewer in their characters. It's an interesting film, but one that is deeply flawed.

boardertrash I'm going defend this film, I've probably watched 4 films a week for the last 10 years so we get through a lot of dross and have gotten to know what movies are like that are rated below 6, this isn't one. OK, so the ending could have been better but it's not a complete let down and the rest of the movie is well acted. I think the key to it being poorly rated is because it's eerily frustrating to watch which is definitely the intention here, if you can appreciate that then you'll like it as we did. There are some creepy performances and it's a bit twisted in a way. All in all it should be rated somewhere between 7 and 7.5, solid but not amazing, worth a watch.
