Based on a miraculous story about the power of faith, Captive is an "amazing, inspiring" drama about the spiritual collision of two lost souls, Brian Nichols (Golden Globe Nominee David Oyelowo), on the run from police and desperate to make contact with his newborn son, takes recently widowed mother Ashley Smith (Kata Mara) hostage in her own apartment. Fearing for her life and desperately hoping to see her daughter again, she turns to Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life for guidance. Ashley and her captor face a crossroads where they discover hope and light in the midst of despair in the moving film that Dick Rolfe, CEO, Dove Foundation hailed as "powerful."

My review:

I was so excited to get a chance to review this film.  It has been an exciting time for Christian Cinema, it really seems to be booming and doing well. This in turn makes the quality of these films even better, and this is really good. The actors are amazing and they really make you care about each of them and what their struggles are. Both of the main characters have made poor life decisions and this makes it feel so much more true to life. I was really sucked in by their amazing performances.

I am always entranced by anything based on a true story, and the fact that God inspires the people in the film makes it even better.  In the movie Ashley starts to read the Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I have reviewed a couple of version on my blog and you can check them out here. The book inspires her to think about changing her ways and living her life the way God has planned. It then begins to make Brian think about the decisions he needs to make and what he needs to do. God has a plan for all our lives and we all have a purpose. No matter how big the mistakes we have made He is always there to take us in. No sin is to big or small, we all need His Grace and purpose for our lives.

This was a very good movie but I do wish they had incorporated The Purpose Driven Life into the story a little more.  It was mentioned a couple of times and she read from is twice.  However, maybe this was true to the real story. I would highly recommend you see it!  It is rated PG-13 for substance abuse and violence so it isn't for your little ones, but it would be great for teens to see.
