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

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

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

Captive, to my chagrin, never finds its story -- that is, it never finds the meaning, the arc, the narrative that justifies its retelling.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 24, 2015

Yawn.

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

The thin story has been stretched like Silly Putty to feature-film length and the result is utterly see-through in its sledgehammer moralizing.

| Original Score: D | Sep 22, 2015

Captive winds up building to a big nothing.

| Sep 20, 2015

Though the film ends with a whimper instead of a bang, Oyelowo and Mara's riveting, embodied performances rise above the material.

| Sep 18, 2015

The problem, alas, is that Mara and Oyelowo are ultimately captive in a script that doesn't allow its characters to stretch outside their preordained boundaries.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 18, 2015

The film's police-procedural action is unimaginatively presented, but Oyelowo is compelling ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 18, 2015

A Lifetime movie shoved into a cage and fattened with sermons and platitudes until it is ready to be served up cold and bland.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 17, 2015

What matters is two people who think they have lost everything and how just one of them chooses life, hope, and purpose.

| Original Score: B | Sep 17, 2015

A credit-sequence television clip of Mr. Warren and the real Ms. Smith with Oprah Winfrey makes the entire movie feel like the strangest book infomercial in memory.

| Sep 17, 2015

True crime and Christian filmmaking collide with more subtlety than either genre is typically known for in "Captive."

| Sep 17, 2015

For a story whose appeal hinges on the saving grace of getting a "purpose-driven life," this one's got remarkably little of it.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 17, 2015

Smith deserves credit for keeping a cool head -- and for not succumbing to her addiction under stress -- but the strategy makes for a somewhat low-energy film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 17, 2015

Oyelowo and Mara try to bring humanity and tension to the testimonial thriller of two lost souls finding their way together, but they only succeed in bursts, hampered by marketing copy masquerading as dialogue.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2015
