A gritty raw thriller

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2018)

This movie has been out for a long time. However I love it and wanted to write a review. The film itself has a fantastic dark tone. The ideal itself is fantastic. At it's core the film asks you a question about your own morals. "What would you do if your child was in danger?" There are characters representing different sides of the decision to answer the core question itself. I for one would probably lean towards Hugh Jackman but that's beyond the point.
There is something incredibly entertaining in watching Hugh Jackman's change in character from the start of the film to the end of the film.
I also appreciate a stand-alone film. There is much to gain from sequels. However this keeps you wanting more, it tells an incredible story, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Not to mention how captivating the acting is to where you feel what the character is portraying on screen; that is a real film.
Without going into spoiler details, that's my pitch. If you honestly haven't seen this film you are missing out. Jackman and ghyllenhal's performance is enough of a sell but it has, as noted, everything else to make it the perfect film.
