The Captive a 2014 Canadian thriller film directed by Atom Egoyan with a script he co-wrote with David Fraser. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Bruce Greenwood, Scott Speedman, Rosario Dawson, Mireille Enos, Kevin Durand, and Alexia Fast. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.

The film has a nonlinear presentation, and only context differentiates the current scenes from the flashbacks. Although the subject matter was particularly grim, the crew was a pleasure to work with. I learned a lot on this project working with John Moran, Kim McQuiston, Martha Sparrow and Phillip Barker.
