Movie Review The Captor (15)Sunday, 19 January 2020 | Admin Movie Review The Captor (15) 1hr 32mins Biography, Comedy, Drama Based on the absurd but true 1973 bank heist and hostage crisis in Stockholm that was documented in the New Yorker as the origins of the 'Stockholm Syndrome'. Director: Robert Budreau Writer: Robert Budreau Stars: Ethan Hawke, Noomi Rapace, Mark Strong Any Good? Metascore (Critics) Rating 5.4/10 IMDB User Rating 6.1/10 MGN Review: This movie links comedic and serious themes, sadly it falls just short on both. There is no doubt that the true story had a comedic slant to it and the screenplay tries to reflect this but it just doesn't really work. It's ok, but a very low budget feel to it does it no favours. MGN Rating 6/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXEsPhJP5vE |
