Captivity (2006) 6/10

Starring : Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Michael Harney, Laz Alonso
Director : Roland Joffe
Running Time : 92 mins

Fashion model Jennifer Tree (Cuthbert) wakes up on a strange room, and realises that she has been kidnapped. As she tries to escape, she finds that there is another captive named Gary (Gillies) in the next room to her, and that he has no idea why he is there either. Together they try in vain to escape, but liitle does Jennifer realise how much danger she is really in.

This movie could have been a lot better, but the writers and actors didn’t seem to really care what they were doing, and really went overboard with the violence at the beginning as if to compensate. Cuthbert is poorly classed in this role, and the guys playing the policemen don’t seem to know anything about procedure, but that could just be the writers fault. Only worth watching if you’re a die hard thriller fan.
