Thriller. Drama In this fact-based thriller Ashley Smith is a single mother struggling with drug addiction who is randomly taken hostage in her own apartment by a man on the run from the law for breaking out of jail and murdering the judge assigned to his case - only to realize before the climactic finish that they have actually saved each other's lives.

United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"For a story whose appeal hinges on the saving grace of getting a 'purpose-driven life,' this one's got remarkably little of it (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	James Rocchi The Wrap	"A Lifetime movie shoved into a cage and fattened with sermons and platitudes until it is ready to be served up cold and bland"	NEG
United States	Geoff Berkshire Variety	"True crime and Christian filmmaking collide with more subtlety than either genre is typically known for in Captive"	POS
