| Captivity - 7/10 Did I see the same version as everyone else? Because this movie was one hell of a good time! It's not great by any means, but it delivers exactly what I wanted it to, entertainment. I can see why people wouldn't like it, but I just don't see why SO many people don't like it. And lets get one thing straight, this is a kidnap thriller, not torture porn. There are really only two scenes of bloody torture, one in which it doesn't even involve wounding the victim, and the other is just a pulled tooth. The rest of the action is stabbings, gunshot wounds, some claustrophobic traps and a blown up dog (nice!). It is simply a kidnap thriller, nothing more, nothing less. The acting is pretty solid, and there were no performances that upset me in any way. The directing was OK, but after all the editing this movie had to go through, I can see why it wasn't as good as it could have been. Overall, a fun, intense, suspensful, well acted and entertaining thriller that although is not in the same genre category as Hostel and Hostel: Part II, is easily better than both of those films. |
