saw again

captivity is a "saw" clone more or less. not that its bad, it holds its own ground, its just nothing new.

an actress is abducted and held captive and subjected to sick and twisted torture. a second man appears to be a second captive and from the first moment he's on screen you know he's the bad guy. granted there is twists and turns which do make the movie interesting. and thankfully the movie abandons what, early on, seems like its going to be a critique of the vanity of film stars. there isn't a shocker ending but more of an 'its finally over' ending.

personally i dislike these types of films. they're not so much fun as they are excessively violent for no real reason. the whole premise of this kind of movie is random senseless violence that tries to outdo the moral depravity of the rest latest film. boring! maybe i prefer the occult overtones, or backwoods weirdness, or diseases, or monsters, but this hateful exploitation is just as taxing.

that said the movie accomplishes what it intents, although it doesn't really surprise nor rise to the twisted level of other movies (saw) in the same vein.
