The Captive Reviews

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

Very slow and left too many questions unanswered.....

It was good. Hit on some strong ethical points. It did feel surface level and like nothing was flushed out.

Watched this a while ago but apparently failed to mark it.

Meh Highly

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

Was just okay really, expected more or like a twist or something that ties it all together, ending felt rushed

Some of the performances were good but it was kind told a bit weird

Worth watch but fine

was on the edge of my seat the whole time, but the ending fully disappointed me. made me feel like it was a bit of a waste of time . really heavy atmosphere and great acting though

Slow beginning, waste of time.

Good enough to keep your attention

6.7/10

The end spoiled the movie. Yes, it was a happy ending, but how it was presented didn’t invoke any emotions.

Good seeing Ryan Reynolds in a serious role

It was a good watch overall, but some parts were a bit confusing and there wasn't much leading up to the end and it was kind of abrupt.

I have a daughter so this one got me.
