Very captivating!
Great performances by David Oyelowo and Kate Mara. The two created good chemistry on the screen.
David Oyelow is a fine actor. I was really drawn in at watching him play Nicols. It was very intriguing watching him showcase the many levels of the character his is performing
And Kate Mara did a fantastic job as a supporting actor. I like how she handle the material. Seemed more interesting in going for the realism of the situation without being over dramatic.
But my personal favorite performance in captive goes to Micheal k Williams, however. It's not the first time he played a man on the right side of the law, but Omar from the Wire gave his most believable performance as the head cop Jon Chestnut hunting down Brian Nichols.
It was a compelling story about a woman who literately seemed scared straight into cleaning herself up from an addiction while being captured by Brian Nicols for 7 hours.
It's all about watching two good actors connect with each other on the big screen and it makes for a wonderful experience
