Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Budd WilkinsFor every way that The Sweet Hereafter makes its generic elements seem fresh and even a trifle mysterious, The Captive finds new ways to render them absurd.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Scout TafoyaThe Captive may appear to bite off a little more than it can chew but it's one of the most satisfyingly baroque thrillers of the year, and thanks to a perfectly judged performance by Ryan Reynolds, it's quietly heartbreaking, too.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by Peter LabuzaAggressively stupid when it's not downright illogical, it is hard to imagine a film less deserving for a competition slot at this year's Cannes than The Captive, a subpar Law & Order episode at best.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleAlthough Reynolds rises above the rest as a father consumed by sadness and anger, The Captive quickly devolves into scenes that feel like stilted dramatic re-creations demanding a noirish voice-over by "Cold Case Files" host Bill Kurtis.
AV Club - 8/10 by A.A. DowdThe structural gamesmanship is just a smokescreen, a way to obfuscate the pulp nature of what is, ultimately, little more than a glorified, low-aiming potboiler.
Movie Chambers - 8/10 by Paul ChambersEarth to Atom, come back to us. We miss you.
TIME Magazine - 8/10 by Mary CorlissThe Captive recapitulates the arc of Egoyan's career: early promise, followed by arrant misfires.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Robbie CollinThis is Egoyan’s best film for a very long time: like Reynolds, he needed a hit, and The Captive is a welcome return to the form of The Sweet Hereafter. Its eeriness creeps up on you and taps you on the shoulder, and when you spin around, it’s still behind you.
FILMINK (Australia) - 7/10 by Thomas DerwinWhile The Captive builds strongly in its first act, it ultimately lets itself down with generic plot twists and a largely dissatisfying finale. Egoyan's eye for beauty, however, is unquestionable.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzA ludicrous, unconvincing and unpleasant kidnapping thriller.
