Captivity was attacked for its too-evil-for-kids billboard ad, but the real distinction — if that's the word — of this torture-porn horror flick is that it was made by middlebrow humanist Roland Joffé (The Killing Fields). He brings an artful video-grunge look, and not much else, to this Saw clone, in which a kidnapped supermodel (Elisha Cuthbert) is made to endure a series of Fear Factor torments, one of which is truly gross (she's fed a bloody milk shake of blenderized body parts), the rest not sick enough to disturb anyone who'd go to see this film.
