Review of Prisoners (2013) by Henry G — 26 May 2014

Jake Gyllenhall and Hugh Jackman deliver their career best performances thus far in this dark thrilling and captivatingly haunting story of two family's whose little girls go missing and how each are pushed to their moral limits to find them with a sharp intense and brooding cop who is trying to solve the case before it's too late named detective Loki and played by the brilliant Jake Gyllenhall who gives us one of the coolest, darkest, most realist roles I've ever seen on screen.

I felt detective Loki should get his own movie from seeing gyllenhall transform into this dark stylish character but that doesn't take away from the other stellar performances from Jackman to Terence Howard and even Paul Dano.

Soon Jackman travels outside the lines of his own morality to capture the kidnapper and to toture details out of him while dragging Howard's character into the mix. The film gives a dark ominous "you can't guess what's coming next" edge of your seat thriller that never let's up even to the credits.

Rifled with small religious allusions it gives a deeper story of morality as well as nailbiting thriller. MUST SEE.
