More Detail:
In the British movie CAPTIVES, Julia Ormond plays Rachel Clifford, a 30-year old dentist undergoing a divorce. She decides to utilize her dentistry skills at a high security prison. A convict named Phil, played by Tim Roth, gains her attention. Soon, Rachel starts visiting Phil during her off hours. One day, she is surprised to meet him at a supermarket. He tells her he gets to go to college once a week and is let go with no supervision. They journey decide to have sex in a stall in the ladies room of a pub. Now, Rachel’s passions are ignited. When she goes back to the prison, complications arise when other prisoners promise harm to Phil if she doesn’t smuggle in forbidden goods. This leads to an explosive confrontation.
Starring a British cast, the accents are very thick. The name suggests two people in bondage. Phil is trapped in prison, and Rachel is caught in an affair beyond her control. Because Rachel cannot control her lusts, she is caught in a fatal situation. “The wages of sin is death” represents the premise of this story. Beyond that theme, CAPTIVES doesn’t display any spiritual substance. Thus, this low-brow thriller with an English accent merely ends up as one in a series of sex thrillers where somebody ends up dying because somebody else couldn’t control their passions.
