DVD Reviews of Captives
DVD Review: Illicit Love
Summary: 5 Stars
I realize this isn't actually a 5 star movie, but the acting by both Tim Roth and Julia Ormond was excellent and their chemistry amazing. The premise didn't make much sense, a female dentist working in a prison and why at the beginning, this job was so important to her. She was insecure as her husband had cheated on her and Philip Chaney (Roth) was in prison for killing his wife for the same reason.
She still continued to love and trust him, even after the truth became known to her.He was lonely, desolate, isolated and yearning for female contact. Their rapport and connection was immediate and I would like to think his actions were beyond his control and he was seeking redemption. I can't tell you how many times I watched this movie for the marvelous acting and their relationship. The way he looked at her at the end, when he said that he'd go to the Governor and protect her, was so moving and sincere.
Should he, who was so insecure and yearning for love, be trusted by her, I don't know. Personally, I'd be very leery as he committed murder out of jealousy. Could he have changed during those 10 years of isolation. He appeared so, sweet, kind, empathetic and understanding, but there was a violent side to him. She felt dreadfully betrayed and violated, losing trust for her husband. Philip was there attentive, witty, attractive and intelligent and doting on her. I'd like to think her trust in him wouldn't be an error but I might be as vulnerable as she was. She was mesmerized by him.
Description of Captives
CAPTIVES - DVD MovieThe thrill of forbidden passion electrifies the air when young dentist Julia Ormand, the wounded victim of a rough divorce, falls for sad, soulful convict Tim Roth, a patient in her part-time prison duties. Her impulsive embrace of a man who seduces her with whispered confessions and little love bites (how better to flirt with a dentist?) and the rush of their affair raises unsettling questions: what exactly are his motives, and what crime is he in prison for? Captives can't decide whether it?s a tale of obsessive love or a film noir thriller with an erotic twist, and it finally falls back on mundane complications. But delicate Ormand is a beauty with a deer-in-the-headlights look, and Roth steals the film with his simmering and tragic eyes. --Sean Axmaker
