Captives holds the viewer's attention with several unexpected twists and sudden turns through the minds of two couples whose lives randomly entwine during a thrill-seeking adventure gone boring.
The thrill seekers, Jim and Naomi, leave home to travel down unknown roads across the county only to have their car break down shortly after leaving. Luckily for them, the car stops outside the L.A. vacation residence of Neil and Jane, a seemingly contented married couple. Naomi and Jane, stuck in conversation for the day while the men attend to the car, slowly discover that, although they have entirely different reasons, they both share a common need. The outcome of their shared need and the plan they put in motion to fill it brilliantly shows just how far the craving for excitement can go.
Writer and director Randall Chu does a credible job in this fast-paced micro-budget twist on thrillers.
