This entire time Cassandra has been held captive in the home of a child pornographer named Mika, who has installed remote cameras in the hotel rooms where Tina works as a chambermaid. Although Mika leaves his house to work and is no longer sexually interested in the now-teenaged Cassandra, the fear that he will harm her parents keeps Cassandra from escaping or seeking help.
Cassandra begins chatting online with a young girl, trying to entice her to meet. When Nicole arrives home, she finds Jeffrey using his own niece as bait to infiltrate the child porn community and immediately shuts off the web cam. Mika secretly turns the webcam back on to watch their fight and reconsiders Willy's offer regarding Nicole.
While transporting trees in his truck, Matthew stays overnight at a motel. He wakes to find the trees have been taken and left in a trail that ultimately leads him to a remote location where he finds Cassandra. Cassandra resists leaving with him and Matthew does not understand why until Mika appears and tranquilizes him; Mika had arranged the meeting to watch their reunion.

What appears to have happened is that the director took a good, long look atthe way we process information and communicate with each other in 2014 and washorrified by what he found. Intimacy, safety and order have all lost theirmeaning in an age where voyeurism is part of everyday life. "The Captive" takesthis to a slightly cartoonish extreme in the form of Durand's mustache-twirlingvillain, but Egoyan is onto something. 24 hour access to pornography and violentvideo content, to say nothing of the contents of other people's lives viaFacebook, Instagram and Twitter, has congealed into a kind of societalnumbness. What do you do when you get bored of everything? Start playing godand treating other people like characters in a story you're writing. The dangeris not knowing how to end it. If that sounds an awful lot like filmmaking,that's for a reason. Egoyan's shaggy storytelling starts to look a little morepurposeful in light of that. After all, he knew how he wanted "The Captive" toend.
Parents need to know that The Captive is centered on a young girl who's kidnapped and held captive for several years by a ring of child abusers. Several scenes feature oblique descriptions of what her captors do, but it's never explained in detail and never shown. Still, the subject matter and the air of creepiness that permeates the entire movie make it very iffy for younger teens. Expect strong but infrequent swearing (mostly variations of "f--k" and "a--hole") and a sequence that shows an adult woman being drugged, kidnapped, and held against her will. There's also a high-speed car chase and shootings.
I am giving The Captive (2014) by Atom Egoyan two and half stars because this is a film that advocates for kidnapped, exploited children who are forced to comply with human trafficking. The film also indicates that the criminals, the police, the judges, and the community are being paid off and are complicit in these crimes. The non-linear story line was typical of Egoyan. The characters were not aged over eight years and this is about the only flaw I see other than the fact that this was like a TV episode of Criminal Minds from 2008.

The Captive was co-written and directed by Atom Egoyan, who has made some amazing films over the years. It stars Ryan Reynolds, who showed he can really act with his performance in Buried. However, the film struggled in its opening weekend and failed to find an audience in theaters. Is it a worthy addition to the two men's filmography? Or is there a good reason audience stayed away?

For 8 years, Matthew went to the skating rink to watch Cass' old skating partner and best friend Albert skate. Matthew began following a woman he saw interviewing Albert, and followed her to a diner. Matthew called Detective Jeffrey and said that the kidnappers are at the restaurant he describes. Matthew then hid his cell phone on the woman's car. Matthew went inside and confronted the spy and Mika with the missing picture of Cassandra. The manager said that he called the police, so Matthew left, but not before swiping the spy's cell phone. Matthew ran to his truck and drove off, and Mika and the spy followed him after realizing the cell phone was gone. Mika attempted to crash his car into the truck, and the spy attempted to shoot at it. Matthew turned around and drove back to the restaurant, and Mika's car drove somewhere else. Matthew ran to the police, while the agency tracked the GPS on Matthew's cell phone in Mika's car.

On May 4, 2014, anti-Kiev forces abducted six men, three of them town council members, from the town of Novogradovka. They were released the following day. All had been severely beaten, and some were seriously injured.
Interesting; I had the same suspicion. There was definitely something going on here or at least hinted at. When I first watched the scene where Vince meets Nicole I had to rewind it twice to try to figure out what Vince was trying to say about "being betrayed". She does a double-take which is a clue to the audience "pay attention to this scene".Will have to watch this again along with the early scene with Vince giving Mika advice about how to deal with his underlings - "don't be their friends" - who is he really talking about?The ring is very well financed; having Vince behind it for funding makes sense as would his close association with Vince. There also seemed to be some odd stuff going on at the table with Vince interacting with Mika and Nicole; fake yawn, etc.Will need to re-watch these scenes and maybe track down the script. I think that at the very least, Egoyan is hinting to us that Vince may be involved. [edit] If Vince was in on it, this could explain why the wife wasn't returning calls from the police.
Once again the actual ratings on IMDb are not correct at all to me. This movie deserves a lot more then a 5.8 rating. If it was not for the ending that wasn't that great I would have give it an eight. But for the rest I was really entertained by The Captive. The story is well written and keeps you interested during the whole movie. I'm not a huge fan of movies where the story goes back and forth from past to present but in this one it didn't really bothered me. The cast was well chosen and they all gave us a good performance, especially Mireille Enos. Ryan Reynolds a bit lesser but it was okay. I really felt the disgust for pedophiles through the whole movie. Disgusting predators that should be locked up for life. The movie gives you a good view about their disturbed minds and their complete absence of feelings for their victims. A good movie to watch, don't trust the ratings on here. 041b061a72
