CAPTIVE won't dazzle you in the way the masters of mystery will, but the uncannily consistent work from Oyelowo and its positive outlook will indeed keep you captivated.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 14, 2018

An odd, and not in a good way, preachy piece.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2018

The film is underwhelming but does carry strong performances.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2018

A thriller of sorts that starts reasonably well before drifting to an aimless halt.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2016

The film's reluctance to overinvest in its religious significance will certainly not satisfy the spiritual nor will it come as a welcome relief to the skeptical, placing the overall audience in a state of limbo.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2016

Captive is 온라인카지노추천 veteran Jerry Jameson's first theatrical feature since Airport '77. That's by far the most interesting thing about it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2016

So inept a film, so bland and monotonous, that it fails even to serve as the blatant ad for the certain Christian motivational book it would appear to be.

| Jan 5, 2016

How does an actor depict something as ineffable and internal as undergoing a spiritual awakening? Mara does it with only the darting of her eyes and the slowing of her breath, and it's an extraordinary moment that should be remembered come Oscar time.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2015

Finally, Christian audiences have a top-notch, captivating film.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 4, 2015

Hostage thriller about escaped prisoner has violence, drugs.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2015

Hokey nonsense designed to celebrate the power of piety.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 28, 2015

It's never clear to what extent God really touched these characters, nor do you ever really fear for Ashley's life. The result has a 온라인카지노추천 movie feel.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2015

Committed performances from the two leads provide ballast, although the inevitable Oprah coda feels a little too much like a sales pitch.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 27, 2015

There is a moral somewhere in Captive but it is hard to work out what it is.

| Sep 25, 2015

You feel as if you have sat through a modestly interesting picture under mostly false pretences.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 24, 2015

What begins as a straightforward thriller tracing a manhunt following a lethal courthouse shooting bizarrely morphs into a paean to the powers of a Christianity-themed self-help book.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 24, 2015

Profoundly idiotic.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 24, 2015

The film's whole agenda is the problem.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 24, 2015

The actors are committed - Mara, generally waif-like, appears frail indeed - but there's barely anything worth committing to.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 24, 2015

Solid but wholly unspectacular real-life crime drama that is only in the least bit cinematic because of its leads.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 24, 2015
