Critic Reviews:
- " In a sea of superhero movies, romantic comedies and horror, The Captive, is a good choice for those looking to go a little beyond simple entertainment. " – Gabriel Martínez
- " Egoyan trusts his talent to play with mystery, but also relies on the public to gradually put together a puzzle made of family drama and the suspense of a thriller. " – Luis Fernando Galván
- " “The Captive” may appear to bite off a little more than it can chew but it's one of the most satisfyingly baroque thrillers of the year, and thanks to a perfectly judged performance by Ryan Reynolds, it's quietly heartbreaking, too. " – Scout Tafoya
