Stars: 4
Review by: MandyApgar
When a sick, twisted monster named Ariel Castro decides to act out his fantasies of rape and torture he kidnaps three young women - Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus - and keeps them prisoner for roughly 10 years chained inside his Cleveland home. What he did not account for was how strong the 3 would be. Despite beatings that would kill most people Michelle Knight becomes a sort of protector for the group, taking the hits for others so they do not suffer as much. Amanda Berry bears her abductor's child, and not wanting her to suffer a poor education, sets up a school for the young girl while she and her friends are chained to the walls. Gina DeJesus inspires her friends with her pride in her heritage and faith. All 3 sort of team up to try to deal with a man who, despite years of abuse to his common law wife (resulting in her eventual death) and the probable framing of the lady's true husband for sexual assault, is seemingly made of teflon. Neighbors see the women several times over the years but never question the acts. Finally, when Castro leaves the house one day, Amanda Berry gains the attention of neighbors and kicks out a door with their assistance, allowing the escape of the others (including her then 6 year old daughter). Castro (who never understands all the fuss) is found guilty on numerous counts and is sent to jail, where he is repeatedly disciplined for not following the rules and for being insulting and rude. He finally commits suicide in his cell and the house is leveled.
