This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I, myself, thought the movie was incredible. A prisoner falling in love with his dentist would probably be a turn off to people who haven't seen it, but it was surprisingly exceptional. Especially the sex scene in the bathroom. I've always had a little something for Tim Roth, but now it's grown. It was a very passionate and intense part of the movie and I really enjoyed it and I think you will too. If anything, it was the best movie I've ever seen. Big Tim Roth fan or not it is a must see and always will be, so suck it up Johnny Depp (if that is how you spell his name) and sit back and watch the show. Some popcorn wouldn't hurt though.

Tim, you are the most magnetic, attractive, intense and passionate actor!! The lyrics of this song, HIGHER LOVE of Depeche Mode, is what I feel for you."I can taste more than feel This burning inside is so real I can almost lay my hands upon The warm glow that lingers on Moved, lifted higher Moved, my soul's on fire Moved, by a higher love I surrender all control To the desire that consumes me whole Leads me by the hand to infinity Lies in wait at the heart of me Moved, lifted higher Moved, my souls on fire Moved, by a higher love Heaven bound on the wings of love There's so much that you can rise above Moved, lifted higher Moved, moved, by a higher love By a higher love I surrender heart and soul Sacrificed to a higher goal Moved, moved by a higher love By a higher love" (M.Gore)M. Angeles Zaragoza (Spain)

I probably wouldn't have rented it if I realized it was a woman having an affair with a prisoner, so I'm glad I didn't know that or I would have missed out on this very good movie. As it was, it turned out to be more of what I expected - two people who had been drawn together by sexual chemistry being bonded together from a shared adversity. And the sexual chemistry and tension between Roth and Ormond (or, technically, their characters as portrayed by the two excellent actors) is very strong. This is one hot movie, and it manages to be so with no nudity (although, it does have a sex scene). The movie also keeps tension throughout by showing various people noticing them. That way, you really can't be sure who their future threat will be.

I just got finished viewing Captives and I liked it A lot. I guess it was Tim Roth's interaction with Ormond that drew me in and stopped me from switching channels. A lot of dialogue was spoken not with words, but with expressions. And the more I think about it, the more I feel the movie kept a constant level of tension throughout. As for believability, I know love can be blind, having been in love myself and that thought, for me, kept the movie alive. I give it a big thumb's up.
