umairghouri I have been watching many Mystery movies lately and this movie is a must watch. The acting is done superbly by both Huge Jackman and Jake. Huge performing a serious roll really stands out. Also the way movie progress is really good. Its a slow pace movie making suspense and thrill come into play and till the end you remain who is going to be it.

bouchardsamson Prisoners is as close to perfect as a film can get. The cast add so much to this already intense and dark film, especially Hugh Jackman who gives an absolutely harrowing performance as a broken and deeply furious character. The musical score is slow and adds to how mesmerising the film is. It's hard to stop watching despite how dark, relentless and raw the story gets, due to the incredible directing, unpredictable characters and the mystery that keeps you guessing even if the answer is right in front of you. Despite being two and a half hours, nothing feels unnecessary, and the pacing never drags despite the length. An utterly perfect thriller with an incredibly compelling collection of broken characters and a mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat right to its final, armrest gripping moments.

dingusrev .. decent show .Over serious. Way too drawn out but a very well crafted and acted out drama. 8.2 is a ludicrous rating and anyone going in expecting a modern classic will be disappointed.If this film is on your list to watch , like it was mine for a few years then honestly I'd catch up on other 'classics' you have on the list because this certainly isn't one. Reminded me very much of Zodiac 2007 in which people absolutely ranted and raved about and I just watched wishing the boredom would end. 6/10
