There were elements here and there that I liked, but its message was muddled - and if this type of movie doesn't work as a message film, it doesn't work where it matters most. "Captive State" certainly attempts to do that, but it suffers from an identity crisis that results in an unsatisfying experience. One would hope that films which tread into the (apparently for studios) perilous territory of trying something new would take full advantage of their rare opportunity. Sequels, prequels, spin-offs, reboots, adaptations and reimaginings abound in our cinemas. There aren't many would-be blockbusters these days that are truly original. The audience, like myself, seemed restless and bored. When I saw "Captive State," the theater was unusually empty.
