Rating: 1/5 -- The Captive revels in its own nastiness and makes for a highly unpleasant watch. Full Review
South China Morning Post
Apr 11, 2016
The infuriatingly vague and downright strange story banishes the haunting delicacy of mood that Mr. Egoyan has conjured so successfully in the past. Full Review
New York Times

[Atom] Egoyan frames each shot so precisely so that we're always aware of what we're not seeing, creating suspense as things are revealed. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- The 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. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Ryan Reynolds, lots of snow, a pedophile ring and a botched Atom Egoyan thriller -- ONLY in Canada! Full Review
Movie Nation
Jul 30, 2018
Becomes baroque and ludicrous as the Hitchcockian scenario loses its psychological bearings in a web of trashy plot twists and self-conscious jumps in time. Full Review
Los Angeles Times

Rating: 1.5/4 -- For all its problems, The Captive does try to hit the themes that have obsessed Egoyan for three decades: desire, death, memory, and time. Full Review

Product Description:

Years after his young daughter vanished without a trace from the back seat of his truck, a father receives newfound hope that she is alive and being held in captivity in this drama from Academy Award-nominated director Atom Egoyan. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) and Tina (Mireille Enos) were a happy couple before their daughter Cassandra was taken from them. In the aftermath of the tragedy, their relationship began to dissolve. Years later, detectives Nicole (Rosario Dawson) and Jeffrey (Scott Speedman) are investigating online activity by pedophiles when they discover recent images of Cass. Convinced this is proof-positive his daughter is still alive, desperate father Matthew vows to ensure her safe return even if it means risking his own life. Kevin Durand, Alexia Fast, and Bruce Greenwood co-star.
