Oscar worthy performances

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2018)

I've only just watched this title on Netflix and was utterly blown away by the performances from Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhall. Outstanding from both of them and how they weren't nominated for academy awards I'll never know. The film itself takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and whilst the subject matter is dark and disturbing 2 little girls being abducted, the film focusses more on the struggle of both father and detective as they hunt for the truth about what happened to the two girls. The twist at the end I didn't see coming and I was right there with the characters willing for a resolution to go be found. It was tense and compelling and well acted and directed.
