A single mother who becomes the first victim of kidnapper Ariel Castro finds herself trapped in his home for 11 years, where she becomes a friend and sister to two other women who are taken captive by Castro. Based on the true story... On August 22, 2002, Michelle Knight, a 21-year-old single mom, was abducted by Ariel Castro in Cleveland and held captive in his home for more than 11 years. Finding strength through her belief in God and determined to be reunited with her son, Knight refused to be broken by the twisted Castro. Soon thereafter, he abducted two teenagers, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, and imprisoned them alongside Michelle, who then became a friend and sister figure to her fellow victims. When Berry became pregnant with Castro's child, it was Knight who delivered her baby, even performing CPR on the infant girl under the threat of Castro while he told her, "If the baby dies, you die." Despite enduring more than a decade of brutality, Michelle's spirit would not be broken, and her unshakable faith in the face of a seemingly hopeless situation was a testament to the human spirit. On May 6, 2013, Michelle was rescued from the home that was her prison for nearly 11 years, and finally given the chance to reclaim her life. (Cinemax)

I think the reports that have been on TV have done a greater service than this film. I see this more as an effort to publicize the events a bit more and perhaps boost sales of a book by one of the victims. Even if that is the case, I don't blame her. You can make a business out of anything. But the film should definitely have been grittier and more explicit. This is really just a TV movie.

A TV movie involving a whole lot of mediocrity: the actors, the screenplay and pretty much everything that is happening in the movie, or rather not happening. And that’s despite the fact that the story is pretty much made to be turned into a film and it really reminds me of last year’s Oscar-winning piece The Room. I didn’t really find that one amazing either. It might be because the entire movie is really impersonal and cruel. Raymond Cruz does everything in his power to ensure that a hundred people out of hundred hate his guts.
