Easily my favourite film of 2013

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2014)

This film is my favourite film of 2013 simply because every single shot is perfect, as well as this the dialogue is tense and dramatic and the acting is brilliant. Before you watch this film you should know that it isn't an easy watch, it is probably the most realistic depiction of an abduction ever and at two and a half hours long it is not an easy watch, don't be expecting too sail through it like you might when watching the wolf of wall street, it is worth watching and savouring every second of. The characters are developed brilliantly and you feel a strong amount of empathy for pretty much all of the characters and have sympathy for the situation they are in. The film also has a very unapologetic tone, there is one aspect of the film which may even verge on disturbing but this only adds to the plot and character development. Have I mentioned already about how beautiful this film is, it feels like you are watching the work of someone who sat developing the set for each scene for days on end, the film also includes a one minute sequence which is one of the most beautiful set pieces ever, easily up there with the cola cabana steady cam in Goodfellas and the steady cam behind the trike in The Shining. To conclude I would easily rate this film 10/10, it is perfect in pretty much every way, Prisoners is incredible.
