Captifs

This is not a movie, it's a propaganda film, released in the same moment when the international war crimes tribunal is arresting the leaders of the Albanian terrorist group which is responsible for human organs trafficking. The victims are the Serbs.

Albanians were convicted of kidnapping Serbs and taking organs. Then they create a movie where they portray the victim as the culprit. Classic hate speech.

I found this movie to be mostly alright for the most part. The story have a creepy premise with a gang who kidnap people for their organs because this happened in real life and is a frightening thing to think about. It builds up really well with introducing the characters and them getting captured and discovering what the gang is planning to do on them. Unfortunately, the middle part of the movie is definitely the weakest part. It mostly just the characters are waiting for something to happen and them getting torment by the villains in a tame way. Also, these trapped type of movie is pretty predictable, knowing that they won't easily escape from the gang. But things do pick up when the main character manages to escape. That part of the movie is suspenseful with her trying to sneak past the villains and escape with some people. The climax itself is somewhat suspenseful, but due to the runtime, it has a pretty quick ending to it.

Not bad. Decent plot, though fairly conventional for a horror movie, and reminiscent of Turistas. Gritty direction. Short duration, which is good.

Performances are OK.

I saw this for the first time recently. Was on my radar for a decade.

This film has nothing new to offer but it has sufficient tension n suspense. The metal cutter scene is too far fetched n it is abruptly edited. I enjoyed when the bad guys got thrashed. I enjoyed more when the bad dogs too got thrashed. Overall this one is a good thriller minus the gore (which is good). The film doesn't have any torture scene and any comparison with Hostel is uncalled for. I found the babe Zoé Félix very attractive, specially her jawline n cheeks are sharp n hot. Need to see her debut film Déjà mort. Hope to catch her nude in her debut film.
