Watch The Captive For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Best movie of this year hands down!

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Sometimes the writer shouldn't direct. Sometimes the writer shouldn't even write. This film is a shambles, a true mess.

It seems that the production paid loads of money to get Ryan Ronald on board to guarantee box office. Everyone else was really bad in acting. That is also obviously the fault of the screenwriter and casting director. The script had many faults in terms of plot and action. The characters are not at well paid attention to in the screenplay it shows. Atom Egoyan was super lazy in this film. Perhaps he had a cool 'idea' at first, but then I think it stopped at that. It wasn't dealt with properly.

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.

I'm going defend this film, I've probably watched 4 films a week for the last 10 years so we get through a lot of dross and have gotten to know what movies are like that are rated below 6, this isn't one. OK, so the ending could have been better but it's not a complete let down and the rest of the movie is well acted. I think the key to it being poorly rated is because it's eerily frustrating to watch which is definitely the intention here, if you can appreciate that then you'll like it as we did. There are some creepy performances and it's a bit twisted in a way. All in all it should be rated somewhere between 7 and 7.5, solid but not amazing, worth a watch.
