Captive

Captive is TV veteran Jerry Jameson's first theatrical feature since Airport '77. That's by far the most interesting thing about it.

Committed performances from the two leads provide ballast, although the inevitable Oprah coda feels a little too much like a sales pitch.

There is a moral somewhere in Captive but it is hard to work out what it is.

CAPTIVE won't dazzle you in the way the masters of mystery will, but the uncannily consistent work from Oyelowo and its positive outlook will indeed keep you captivated.
