Raw and emotional

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2014)

I loved watching Prisoners because the characters and emotions portrayed felt authentic, I feel like the way Hugh Jackmans character dealt with the situation was that of a desperate man who knew that he had to gamble with his morals and do whatever it takes to find his daughter. every scene between Jackman and Dano was nail biting, the way these two brilliant actors made me question who's side I was on was something I've not felt in a film for quite a while.
Jake Gyllenhall managed to portray a multi dimensional character without very many words but through his facial expressions and his presence was felt even in scenes he was not in, the rest of the cast were great as well.
If your a fan of films like Mystic River or the TV show True Detective then I recommend you watch this film
