Dorathen Better Late Then Never

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Lexiii67 The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that Ryan Reynolds and Rosario Dawson are in it. I was so confused for the first thirty minutes I had no idea what was going on. The timeline was so disconnected and the things the kidnapper did made no real sense. And why does the female kidnapper look exactly like the wife? At least dye her hair brown or something.

aioiasahina A drawn out story with a rushed ending with implausible, but somehow boring twists. The movie time jumps for seemingly no reason making the scenes unnecessarily confusing. The characters are where I took the biggest issue, between characters that are unnecessary to the movie (the figure skating boy, woman partner in crime, anyone related to the kidnappers never revealed, but somehow expected of us to know) and some of the MOST cardboard acting I have ever seen from the kidnapped girl. It's a wonder I sat through this movie. It's a wonder this movie got the green light.

mayamansour-88756 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.

Michael Ledo "The Captive" is not your usual "B" film kidnapping/imprisonment film. The beginning is a bit confusing as it utilizes flashbacks which I didn't realize for the first 30 minutes, making this film a confusing mess to begin with. I will briefly sort out the first 28 minutes of the movie. If you don't want to know...stop reading.Cassandra (Alexia Fast/Peyton Kennedy) goes missing from the back of her daddy's truck cab. Matt (Ryan Reynolds ) her dad becomes suspect number one to the Niagara group "Anything For Love" headed by Nicole (Rosario Dawson). Matt's wife Tina (Mireille Enos) blames him and turns against him. Jeffry (Scott Speedman) who is part of Nicole's group is openly hostile toward Matt.Cass has special privileges as a captive and provides her captor with a unique service which makes this film a bit different. Matt tries to find Cassandra on his own (better than when OJ went looking for the "real" killer) while the group works without Matt.The film makes for a good "B" movie. It over utilizes the flash backs and really should have never had the flashback scene near the end which had me scratch my head...but wasn't she? How did? Oh a flashback. Of what? A day? A gimmick they really didn't need. Or was it a trick?A four star film that was cut to three stars by the director and editor.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
