| Review: Acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyans The Captive (2014) is a strange mess that leaves one high and dry and utterly frustrated. It shows promise to begin with but ultimately gets lost in the vacuum created by Egoyans over-ambitious, almost ludicrous storytelling and below par execution - a clear case of a gifted filmmaker undone by his own lack of judgment, clarity, and poor selection. In fact, the best way to describe The Captive would be as a futile exercise in wishful filmmaking.What hurts most is that the movies plot in itself is quite plausible. It revolves around a young girl who is abducted by a pedophile, with the police and parents trying their best to locate her but with little luck. The theme harks back to Sean Penns The Pledge but the maturity in execution that Penns film had is clearly missing here. Barring some decent acting thats on display, courtesy of Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson (smoking hot as ever) and the rest of the cast, the movie has nothing much to offer except for loads of drivel and foolish fancies spun by a motley of muddle headed individuals, seemingly carried away by the burden of their own genius.For more, please visit my film blogsite:http://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/ |
