My Review
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started Captive. I mean, I do remember hearing about this when it happened but a 30 second news blip doesn't even begin to cover the story. What I watched was a moving and powerful story about a woman with train-wrecked life who comes to a crossroads when the unthinkable happens.
Dramatic, nail-biting. The acting is just so good that I could feel the anger and the fear rolling off the screen. One of the things that really stood out to me in this movie is the power of the written and spoken word. It is Ashley's giving voice to the words of the book that makes the difference, not only to Brian Nichols but also to Ashley herself.
Captive is a gritty and inspiring film. One that would actually be a great movie for parents and older teens to watch together. And you won't soon forget...
We all have a purpose and we all have choices...
