At one point in time
, Captive State was one of my most anticipated movies of Summer 2018! Yes, in a dark era before I knew what
Monster Factory or Lil' Nas X was,
Captive State was slated for an August 17, 2018 theatrical release and I was eagerly awaiting this new directorial effort from Rupert Wyatt given how much I adored his 2011 feature
Rise of the Planet of the Apes. But then Focus Features delayed the title for March 2019 where it came and went so quickly at the domestic box office that I never got a chance to see it in theaters. Finally seeing it now, alas,
Captive State turns out to be a movie so messy that it would have been a dissapointment even if I had never heard of it before prior to watching it.
