Totally Delivers!
I have to start by saying that I don't believe "critics" should be allowed to review horror genre films. It's not high art. It's gore, and scare, and squirming in your seat. These critics probably haven't eaten a hot dog in a while either-but they're still all-American. With that said, we saw Captivity last night and it TOTALLY delivered on all counts. Plenty of scare, plenty of gore, and definitely plenty of squirming. This is what we go to this kind of film to see. Period. It's a fun ride, cheesy in some respects, yes, but in the best way. And for the idiots who are "offended" by the film because it "promotes misogyny"-get over yourselves. I'm a woman - strong, independent, certainly not a victim, and I can separate fantasy from reality. Nobody who sees this movie (except the sociopaths who are already too far gone to give a crap about anyway) is going to get any new ideas about how to harm women. Spend your energy trying to change things in the Middle East...
