It's alright - but the ending is weak sauce. Struggles to really go anywhere interesting, but the presentation is engaging on its own.

What's that, Lassie? Another lame thriller by Egoyan?

The main villain was so over the top. His looks also screamed pedo/villain. Anyway, besides that, people just didn't act believable at all, especially the one cop who was so irrational it was pathetic. Even the drama didn't make me feel anything. This should be a crushing tale because the subject matter is, but there was no depth here. No emotion. The script let this one down hard, but the atmosphere was pretty awesome. Snowy Canada is a dark, depressing place. perfect for a movie like this.

Egoyan strikes another Devil's Knot -- a lazily-crafted thriller that brings a thrilling case, but such a frustrating style, desperately trying to combine understatement with a non-linear storytelling.

The Captive had potential, but that's about it. The way it was constructed takes you out of the production, and the script and performers don't help anything. It deals with serious issues but is too silly or stupid to take seriously. Make this movie but from the perspective of the police and as a straight-up procedural and you might have a better movie. I'd say you'd lose the emotional impact, but there's none of that to be found in The Captive as it has been created right now, anyway.

The script is far fetched in parts but I still really enjoyed this film. There were parts of the film that were really thrilling and I really cared for a few of the characters in this film. The plot is not linear but it is done in an interesting way. The subject matter of the film is really dark and it not for everyone.

Amazing, most realistic movie, with nothing shown to us, that may be the slightest of difficult to look at.

An okay drama/thriller that, surprisingly, lacked emotion considering the subject matter. Durand's character walked the thin line between creepy and silly. Reynolds and Dawson were okay.

It's a slow burning thriller that uses the bleak and depressing Canadian Winter to tell a bleak and depressing story. This had major plot holes, major character flaws but the idea of the plot is strong enough to hold your interest despite all the ludicrous shenanigans on display through-out this film. Egoyan should have focused more on the poignancy of his story, and not on creating absurd and ridiculous caricatures of both cops and criminals. Still despite all that it had intentions.

Egoyan travels further into (bad) Brian De Palma territory with a strange blend of serious drama, a very stupid script and over-the-top characters (Scott Speedman, Kevin Durand). It's actually quite fun but still a complete misfire.

Extremely confusing in the first act. You can't tell how anything is related, until they finally reveal that half of the events you just watched took place 8 years ago. This makes it impossible for you to have an emotional connect the entire second act, because you know that when you are scared, it may have actually taken place years ago anyways. Also: in a movie about pedophiles, it is astounding how they managed to make me hate the incompetent asshole cops more than the villains. Don't watch.

It might have been OK, but seems like it got patched together very sloppily so as not to create connection with the characters and events. And the ending.... did they just run out of money?

The villains in this movie are just too much for me to make it anywhere near believable. There is also quite a lack of depth. Could have been so much better with a bit of thought beyond the primary concept. I feel like this was either something written for the purpose of making a quick buck or written by someone with poor screenwriting skills. Maybe both.
