The Captive (2014)
Directed by Atom
Egoyan this film stars Rosario Dawson, Ryan Reynolds, Mireille Enos
and Scott Speedman. We follow the story of an abduction of a 9 year
old girl over two time periods, as it happens and eight years later.
It takes a while to
get a handle on the non linear nature of this film with scenes
presented wildly out of order but once you get to grips with it I
found it to work well. The plot takes an uncomfortable in to the dark
world of child abduction. I was surprised to see the negative reviews
of this film as I thought it tackled the subject well and showed the
affect it has on different characters.
4/5
