Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2014)

Really good, watched it three times. Takes place in real time, no extraneous dialogue or action - everything is integral to the plot and story line.
Paul Dano is excellent, as are all the others. Didn't even recognize Melissa Leo. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal of course, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, Maria Bello - so many of my favourites.
Music, location, action scenes - couldn't have been better. Everyone on the crew is to be congratulated for a job well done. So much money is spent these days on projects that have no substance or value. Thankfully "Prisoners" with director Denis Villeneuve is not one of them. Highly recommended.
