Review of Captive

Captive (2020)
5/10
Medium Drama
17 March 2023
Tori Kostic is Lily, a teenage girl with an abusive father who runs away with her boyfriend into a forest. He exits stage left early and she seeks food and shelter.

After finding a nice house in the middle of nowhere, she is taken in by a delusional man who believes that she is his daughter.

He is a bipolar dude who berates her while "coaching" her for some upcoming track event. Lily is trapped and in order to survive, assumes the identity of the crazy man's daughter.

The Vince Lombardi style "dad" has his girl running on a treadmill and doing numerous situps in order to whip her into top physical condition.

I must say that by the end of the film, Lily was quite ready for a marathon.

The ending has a bit of a twist but it did not surprise me. The two main characters are onscreen for most of the movie and they are fine.

Overall, an average drama.
