Prisoners (2013)
Directed by Denis
Villeneuve this film stars Hugh Jackman, Jack Gyllenhaal, Viola
Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo and Paul Dano. On
Thanksgiving two young girls disappear and the father of one resolves
to do anything necessary to find her.
For most of this film
this is a really impressively taught thriller filled with dread and
ominous foreboding of what is to come but the ending does stray a
little into gimmicky serial killer territory. As an exploration of
how far people will go and the darkness of the human soul the film
works pretty well. There are some really good performances from all
the lead cast and the direction holds an excellent atmosphere through
out.
4/5
