TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

hughman55 Before I eviscerate this giant bag of dumb, it's worth pointing out that Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson, and Scott Speedman, give really good performances. Mireille Enos plays the same catatonic depressive that she plays in everything else. Actually, not worth the time to take this mess apart. They already got 1:50 of my time. That's more than they deserved. Cliff notes screed: stupid storyline, pointless chronologic leap frogging in time, TERRIBLE screenplay. Don't. Just don't.

jmcaninch68 Had potential but disjointed, poorly directed, with a rushed ending. Actors are fine; writer and director lost focus and pacing. As an aside, I despised the way Ryan Reynolds' character was treated by wife and detective; made zero sense.

Michael Ledo "The Captive" is not your usual "B" film kidnapping/imprisonment film. The beginning is a bit confusing as it utilizes flashbacks which I didn't realize for the first 30 minutes, making this film a confusing mess to begin with. I will briefly sort out the first 28 minutes of the movie. If you don't want to know...stop reading.Cassandra (Alexia Fast/Peyton Kennedy) goes missing from the back of her daddy's truck cab. Matt (Ryan Reynolds ) her dad becomes suspect number one to the Niagara group "Anything For Love" headed by Nicole (Rosario Dawson). Matt's wife Tina (Mireille Enos) blames him and turns against him. Jeffry (Scott Speedman) who is part of Nicole's group is openly hostile toward Matt.Cass has special privileges as a captive and provides her captor with a unique service which makes this film a bit different. Matt tries to find Cassandra on his own (better than when OJ went looking for the "real" killer) while the group works without Matt.The film makes for a good "B" movie. It over utilizes the flash backs and really should have never had the flashback scene near the end which had me scratch my head...but wasn't she? How did? Oh a flashback. Of what? A day? A gimmick they really didn't need. Or was it a trick?A four star film that was cut to three stars by the director and editor.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

katelhx I don't undertand the bad ranting, the movie is well made, good actors and good story. I really got into the characters, even the pedos xD I liked it a lot, i'm guessing why people didn't like it is because of the scene changes, has past and present scenes mixed so SLOW people gets lost, i didn't and i loved that touch, gets the movie more intriguing.
