Captors

"CAPTORS" Certainly Is Not a 10, Nor 9 Or 8 Or 7 Or 6, a Low 5 At Best, It's Somewhat Haunting But Diffinitely Not Scary, Either You Are Crazier Than Two Left Shoes On a Persons Feet Or You Are Sane, Is It Real Or Not Real? The Main Character Doesn't Know Because She Can't Distinguish Between Reality And What Is Not Real, Is She Crazy? Maybe, I Haven Gotten To The End Yet, But I'm Betting, Than Two Left Shoes On a Persons Feet!

I can say with confidence that it is a banal wasted hour and a half to watch.

There is still a stereotype that you can take a pretty girl with a mustache and a crazy maniac and bring them together. It already sounds trite. And when such a crooked performance also turns out, then what is there to talk about.

The actress of the main role does not play very well. In some situations, it can be seen that it does not pull out.

The main downside is that the script is imperfect and confusing. The authors were flying in their thoughts, so the creative team had to start from their understanding of the picture and shot a set of random scenes that the editing director put together. That's how this movie came out.

And the ending completed the misunderstanding.

Three is the ceiling for this project.

I rented this by mistake. I had avoided it since it's release due to user and critic reviews. Tonight I rented it thinking it was another movie. I knew I was in for something truly awful when I saw "Directed by James Cullen Bressack." Bressack was once a promising young filmmaker, now he's a not so young hack who churns out cheap garbage by the ton. This one though, this one is next level lousy. Nevermind the plotholes so large you could drive an eighteen wheeler through them and then parallel park it. Nevermind the absolute impossibility of the plot. As much as those things insult the viewer's intelligence, the real crime against filmmaking here is casting the usually great Bruce Davison in role that wastes his talent completely. I would only recommend this dreck to true masochists who would like to experience an hour and a half of amateurish hell that feels lime it lasts for days.

The actress playing the lead was beautiful & remote & scared & traumatized. She gets a bit of good luck & timing after the most frightening character; her slumlord of her dilapidated room for which she is 6 months in arrears. She is reduced to selling blood in her neighborhood where the food sellers dont take money without papers like ID-- sounds ominous but goes nowhere as all this set up seems a pointless waste when they rush the second act: Her getting a free house ( in the 48 hrs or she may lose it) so she sells her blood to get to the lawyers office. Despite the weather & time they head out to her new free house. From family she doesn't recall. I thought making the lawyer a guy who in snowstorm would drive away in the dark WITHOUT making sure the housekeys worked was funny. The rest of the film is SLOW, boring meandering & then it goes down from there. Its not scary the story is weak & worn. The actress cannot be blamed for the script but I also think she was miscast. I just didnt buy any of it. So save 90 plus minutes or so. I regretted staying as long as I did. As for the filmmakers; everyone did their job well enough- it just didn't result in a great film. Next time they will be better!!

I think 4-5 is a fair score. The first thing I'd say, respectfully, is when the main character is supposed to be penniless, don't cast someone who's clearly had work done to their face. She's a decent actress don't get me wrong, but it really took me out of the film. People who have never had money don't have lip-fillers. That aside, I thought it was okay overall. Some parts were ridiculous. The script could've been better. But the premise was good. Some cliche moments will likely make your eyes roll. But if you like a thriller, and aren't expecting the next Silence of the Lambs, then this film is serviceable.
