Review of The Captive (2014) by Mike B — 13 Sep 2014

The only reason I give this movie even 1 star was due to some good performances by a few of the actors who were stuck in this piece of crap. This total waste of 2 hours proves once and for all that as a film maker, Atom Egoyan is nothing but a poseur whose only real talent lies in his ability to garner grants and tax credits from the Canadian government.

The film is filled with constant, and very annoying flashbacks that serve no purpose in plot or character development. The plot has more holes in it than all the Swiss cheese in Switzerland, and it leaves all sorts of unanswered questions.

Not only do I wish I could get my money back for being lured into watching this rubbish, I think I'm also entitled to punitive damages. Please do not, under any circumstances, watch this bomb!
