I don't typically go for the horror genre, and don't keep up with movie reviews, but I got off work early today and, feeling daring, went to see Captivity. And.... it was awesome. I'm not saying it changed my life, but it was just what I was looking for. I was worried about all the torture and gore that was supposed to be in it, but it turned out to be much more about psychological tricks than blood and guts. On the whole it's really not that graphic, which I'm sure for some people is a drawback, but I prefer to go easy on the stomach-turning, so it worked out for me. The story is quite simple, but sufficient. It is more of a framework in which a series of emotionally traumatizing challenges can be thrown upon our sweet, blonde heroine. Her co-star is a brooding mystery man, and it's fun to watch them interact in their concrete cell under the streets of New York. Anyone requiring a complicated, two hour saga that requires a lot of concentration and brain power should know that this is one of those "along for the ride" flicks, and if that is simply embraced, it's a pretty good ride. |
