    • Trivia
      A large part of the film was filmed in Russia, where nearly the whole crew spoke only Russian. Elisha Cuthbert said that only a handful of the cast were from the US and formed a tight-knit group since they spoke no Russian.
    • Goofs
      Right after the car goes forward and rams the garage door, the view from inside the car when it starts to back up shows an undamaged door.

    Billboards detract from good movie

    Captivity is a movie that had me waiting in suspense. This movie had a good fright around every corner and was nothing that I saw before. I really enjoyed the way the film was made and thought that the attention to the billboards and everything really distracts from the gore of the movie. The Mpaa was right in asking them to bring down the billboards, but still this movie has it all. I heard they are doing reshoots but I think this movie is fine without them. I think that the actors in this one did excellent and I can't believe that they are saying that the movie is going through rating trouble. For true horror fans and movie fans alike , it will be wrong to not give it a rating cause then less people will watch it.
