Los Angeles Times -
Oyelowo and Mara's riveting, embodied performances rise above the material.
|
|
|
Screen International -
Convincing performances from David Oyelowo and Kate Mara – as an escaped killer and his drug addicted hostage – are the saving grace of Captive, a decent dramatic thriller somewhat weighed down by its mildly religious message.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Though much of the drama is clunky and flat, the taut, visceral performances by David Oyelowo and Kate Mara never err.
|
|
|
Variety -
Although Captive largely succeeds as a two-hander, it stumbles in the minimal attempts to broaden the scope beyond Smith and Nichols’ time together.

|
|
Arizona Republic -
Oyelowo and Mara try to bring humanity and tension to the testimonial thriller of two lost souls finding their way together, but they only succeed in bursts, hampered by marketing copy masquerading as dialogue.
