Review of Prisoners (2013) by Jenna I — 05 Jul 2016

I will hand it to this movie that it is anything but straight forward. That said, it's also just VICIOUS as hell... a movie about ethics and victim blaming. Slow at points ( a lot of points) but at least the ending has enough twists and turns that you forgive it for taking so long to get there. I was very impressed with Gyllenhaal, fantastic character.

Edit: Rewatched this and still loved it. Love the piercing commentary on Bush era-torture and the inherent failures of vigilante justice.
