Prisoners Movie Review

Prisoners was a film released last November and i have to say is the most underrated film of the year. If this isn't nominated for at least one award (i don't care which) then we live in a world were great movies are not appreciated enough.

Prisoners follows two family struggles to cope with reality when there eight year old daughters go missing on thanksgiving mostly focusing on Hugh Jackman (the farther of one of the daughters), and Jake Gyllenhaal the cop who is trying to find the two little girls.. That is all i am going to say plot wise as one of the best things about prisoners is its unpredictable thrilling, and genuinely hard to watch at times (due to the subject matter).

The film is a masterpiece of thriller film making, there are no bad scenes or moments all the cast are magnificent with Jake Gyllenhall doing more acting with his eyelids than the entire cast of all the twilight films. Hugh Jackman's performance is also hauntingly good.  the new director Denis Villeneuve does a great job with these holly wood actors and is helped by the best cinematographer in the business Roger Deakins who does an Oscar worthy job making the movie terrifying just in how the film is lit and shot.

I am not going to talk anymore about this film just that you should seek it out.

10/10
