Review of The Captive (2014) by Caleb C — 04 Sep 2014

And here we have an example of most of the critics being wrong here and maybe more so then I have seen since M. Night's The Village, although this is an entirely different film/genre. I could say that this is almost as equal to the greatness that was last years "Prisoners", and yet again, it's a canadian director at the helm here crafting yet another one of the greatest pieces of crime drama cinema I've seen in the last 10 years, I would say.

This is not one to be missed and it is worth a watch for sure. The performances are top notch here and the story here isn't entirely something new, but the way it was executed and told is almost unlike anything I've seen in this genre.

It is very intense and there was not a moment in this I wasn't on the edge of my seat. Also, this is another case of "the less you know about the story the better" kind of scenario here.

It does have some very disturbing elements here, and was surprisingly very close to being a pg-13 film with an R-rated subject even though it technically has no official MPAA rating as of yet. Don't miss this intense masterpiece.
