Default Has anyone seen Captivity?

I like thriller/suspense but am not into gore. Hostel, Saw etc. isn't my thing, but Vacancy, When a Stranger Calls, Halloween, works for me. Is this very graphic?

The film's marketing team tried to dress this up as a piece of torture porn (read into that what you will - some might call it scraping the barrel), but you should disregard the Hostel/Saw comparisons. It's just a really crap thriller with the odd gory moment.

Second to worst film I've seen this year, behind Dead Silence. Even the Elisha Cuthbert eye candy did little to redeem it.

I saw it tonight and it was just horrible. It's not as gory as a couple of reviews that I read implied (I read them after seeing the movie; if I had read them before I might have avoided it.) It's simply one of the dumbest movies that I've ever seen. Everything that happens is insanely predictable, the characters are paper-thin, and there is no plot at all.
If you haven't seen it, don't. It's nothing but a waste of time and money.

The opening scene is good and I thought that there was a chance this would be decent but it really begins to lose it around a 1/3 in.
