About the movie:
Based on a miraculous story about the power of faith, Captive is an "amazing, inspiring" drama about the spiritual collision of two lost souls, Brian Nichols (Golden Globe Nominee David Oyelowo), on the run from police and desperate to make contact with his newborn son, takes recently widowed mother Ashley Smith (Kata Mara) hostage in her own apartment. Fearing for her life and desperately hoping to see her daughter again, she turns to Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life for guidance. Ashley and her captor face a crossroads where they discover hope and light in the midst of despair in the moving film that Dick Rolfe, CEO, Dove Foundation hailed as "powerful."
For a movie that was supposed to be based on a lady surviving a hard situation based on the Purpose-Driven Life book by Rick Warren, well.. two-three incidences of the book popping up in the movie doesn't, to me, constitute the book being instrumental in her life story.
My personal thoughts were, well, I wasn't a fan. I found it very slow moving. I found it intriguing at the end that Ashley spoke to him during the police stand-off working to convince him that enough was enough. In the end there was a peaceful resolution. But overall.. VERY slow moving. For a Christian movie I didn't feel pointed to the Lord at all. It was basically a story about a down and out girl, who gets a solid scare, and finds out that HEY there are more important things in life than doing drugs, and discovers a true will to live.. if only for her little girl. The purpose-driven life book helped, I think, to point her in the right direction and change some of her thinking.
Ashley's daughter was as cute as a button. :)
