Twisting, Suspenseful and Gripping Masterpiece.

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2013)

Very few thrilling flicks grace the movie screen that has you almost yelling right in your seat like the movie Prisoners. The acting is real as Maria Bello leads this all star cast down a real road of what do you do when your children have been kidnapped from right from under your noses. Jake Gyllenhaal is spectacular as the detective who investigates the mystery crime in the small town. Paul Dano plays the suspect in a way that only he could do it. What makes this so real is the other acting of Hugh Jackman, Terrance Howard and Academy Award winners Melissa Leo and nominee Viola Davis. The movies only 2 1/2 hours long but seems like 4 hours with the intriguing story line.
