    Great, absolute great story and acting.
  • Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    In my opinion as close as ever to a perfect film. Jackman's acting is on point, as well as supporting cast, especially Dano. The suspense and overall eerie feeling this movie releases is something very rare and worth the watch.

    Fantastic plot and superb performances by the actors. This film is easier to understand despite many events unfolding in the story. It has a great cliffhanger in the ending and it totally relates to the title of the film

    This was such a compelling movie. Jackman and Gyllenhaal were superb as usual but I was really impressed with Paul Dano. It's definitely worth the watch.

    Great detective thriller! If you are into these kind of movies , do your self a favor and watch it. The plot is pretty straight forward but very well done, and of course , the casting is excellent! Enjoy.

    One of Villeneuve's best. One of the best crime thriller's ever. Jake Gyllenhaal & Hugh Jackman give career best performances. Thrilling, yet heartbreaking watch to say the least. Paul Dano is also sensational.

    ##SPOILERS## OK sort of film, but you have to massively suspend disbelief. Jake Gyllenhaal's character has a habit of turning up at the right place at the right time for no apparent reason. He then ignores all protocols, merrily breezing into places and searching them without a warrant, battering suspects with no consequences, even losing his gun and the life of a suspect without anything more than a few terse words from his boss. It's never explained how one of the captives suddenly escaped. Nobody seems interested in how she escaped or whether she can reveal anything about where she's been. Two out of the three participants who commit horrific crimes are left to wander around without even being questioned. Turns out the tortured party had relevant information all along but chose not to reveal it, despite extreme torture. The denouement is pretty corny. In short, it's all a bit preposterous and unrealistic. Notwithstanding that, if you can overlook these shortcomings, it's quite entertaining, despite the long runtime.

    For something I know for the years to come, Prisoners turned out to be one of the best films of all time and made out to be one of the memorable ones out there made it on to the list of best films of 2013. That said this is got to be one hell of the experience that you'll get. The Dover's and Birch's are celebrating Thanksgiving and afterwards, one of their daughters named Anna and Joy had gone missing. Detective Loki played by Jake Gyllenhaal, responds to a police call about an RV matching the description and arrests the man inside named Alex Jones played by Paul Dano. And the rest is Hugh Jackman will take matters in his own hands doing what he can to find his daughter. This is one intense flick! With it starring one of the huge cast such as Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal and many more, you can tell that this'll interest you even more when it come to this film being more interesting and even before getting into this I found out that this is one of the highest rated films according to IMDB so I can tell this is going to be one memorable experience which of course, I'm repeating myself. This film is intense and dark with some of the best acting from Hugh Jackman when he shouts and yells whenever his daughter is missing and do whatever he can, he really gives it his load. There's one intense moment where he beats the s**t out of Paul Dano for not telling him where his daughter is. The twist in this is very surprising you didn't know that's going to happen. If you love crime and mystery then Prisoners is the one for you. It's a great intense crime drama that'll get you glued to the seat non-stop that you'll enjoy it even more. Alongside The Wolf of Wall Street, Prisoners is one of the best film of 2013.

    Denis Villeneuve's best movie in my opinion. So tense and thrilling and you never want to stop watching, ending and reveal is amazing and it's a horrifying story about how far someone will go when they lose a loved one. Definitely a must watch and one of the greatest mystery/thriller movies of all time.
