Captured

Summary: Captured
Review: Captured is a very difficult movie to watch. The emotions run high for all of the major characters, with no let up. The "Hero" becomes a vigilantie ; the car thief becomes the victim. While the two lead characters battled with each other; I was disappointed to see the younger brother, Joey ( Michael Mahonen; who is a brilliant Canadian actor) left with little or nothing to do. I wish his part had not been cut so drastically. His was the part of the younger, devoted brother. His character could have taken some of the brutality of the film and ballanced it with family loyalty; creating a little sympathy from the viewer... making an emotional attachment we could empathise with. But, no...it went from one brutal and harsh scene to the next. The film has some remdeming qualities, I just wish there had been a little more of Joey, to balance the plot...

Summary: Nick Mancuso at his best
Review: I loved this picture. First, the twist of the story itself and a moral dilemma in it, second - brilliant performance by Nick Mancuso - his character , who used to be IN CONTROL AND LOVING IT, now being on the edge of insanity... Well, Nick Mancuso IS IN CONTROL of your attention till the very end. Add music, photography... An hour and a half very well spent!

Summary: A Great Straight to video release
Review: Just like to say simply, that this is one of the best straight to video titles I have ever seen.

It's one of those movies that is SO much better than it sounds, and therefore greatly under -rated!

I was on the edge of my seat all the time!!

Summary: Attention: All Ye Michael Mahonen Fans!
Review: Michael Mahonen is one of Canada's finest actors. I loved him when he played,"Lee Colagen",on the CBS/Canadian mini-series, "Conspiracy of Silence". I also agreed with other people that he role should have been more in-depth. On "Captured", I feel as though they wasted the talent of a good actor. Is there a website for Michael Mahonen; if so, please let me and the rest of his U.S. fans know about it. Thanks.

Summary: Suspend your disbelief and you may be "captured" for a bit.
Review: This movie actually raises some pretty good morality questions and that was a pleasant surprise. Who actually is the "bad" guy here? Justice? For whom? Not great character development but you don't really need it here because Mancuso and Divoff handle the material well enough to give you a good sense of what each guy is about. I thought the ending was a bit drawn out but overall the movie kept me interested to see the ending.

Summary: Peter Liapis definitely did a good job with this movie.
Review: This movie was so good, all I can say is, "wow." One of the best thrillers I have seen in a long time. Peter Liapis who starred in Ghoulies and Ghoulies IV wrote and directed this movie. It was creepy and suspenseful.

Andrew Divoff stars in this movie as a petty thief who gets caught trying to steal a car owned by Holden Down (Nick Mancuso) and ends up trapped in the car.

During the middle/end of the movie, Andrew (Robert Breed) gets out and then things get really interesting. From the beginning to the end the movie kept up with the plot, and it never got boring.

I think in the beginning though, it is kind of hard to understand until you see Andrew's character and his Brother going after Holden's car, then it starts from there when Holden catches his Brother and breaks his arm. The acting was really good, Andrew Divoff was the best actor in this movie. I enjoyed his performance as well as Nick Mancusos.
