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

Rating: B- --
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.

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

Rating: 2/5 --
The actors are committed - Mara, generally waif-like, appears frail indeed - but there's barely anything worth committing to.

Rating: 2/5 --
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.

Rating: 3/5 --
A thriller of sorts that starts reasonably well before drifting to an aimless halt.

Product Description:
Director Brillante Mendoza draws inspiration from real-life events to craft this tense drama about 12 tourists and Christian missionaries who are mistakenly abducted by armed Muslim Abu Sayyaf group, and forced into the Philippine jungle. As the victims and their kidnappers make their way through the jungle, they develop a symbiotic relationship that helps them to persevere as the environment grows increasingly treacherous.
