Atom Egoyan‘s The Captive is apparently concerned with the parents of a kidnapped child going outside normal channels to find the perpetrator. It obviously bears a superficial similarity to Denis Villeneuve‘s Prisoners. Ryan Reynolds (who needs to star in a critically respected film that isn’t about being buried alive), Scott Speedman, Rosario Dawson, Mireille Enos, Kevin Durand, Alexia Fast. The musical score is by the respected Mychael Danna (Moneyball), who has also scored Bennett Miller‘s Foxcatcher, also debuting in Cannes.
