The Captive

I will say that both Dawson and Reynolds give pretty solid performances, but the constant time jumps and weak dialogue hurt the overall quality. I typically love A24 films, but this was a tough watch.

Excessive amounts of time jumps that you’re expected to keep up with. There was a better way to have weave the web they were trying to make.

This movie keeps you on your feet throughout the entire time. This is not a normal performance from Ryan Reynolds, but he does an amazing job. And I love Ryan Reynolds so that made watching the movie easier too

The screenplay builds tension well and creates moments that genuinely pull the audience into the mystery. However, the film is not perfect. Some scenes slow the pacing and feel unnecessary, which causes the story to drag at times.

9.5/10
