Jackman and Gyllenhaal's Most Impressive Performances Yet,

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2014)

Prisoners is a fantastic movie with a very well developed and well written plot that is beautifully filmed with an outstanding cast that deliver extremely inspired and dedicated performances. It is without a doubt, in my own opinion, the best acting I have ever seen from both Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. I never expected this level of high quality acting from either of them. Jackman stands out especially, like his scenes with Paul Dano, simply intense, dramatic and it's all because of how dedicated Jackman was, the fact that he did not get an Oscar nomination for his performance upsets me, he was absolutely outstanding.
The story is really unpredictable and will keep you wondering all the way through. Thr ending. which I will not spoil, is the kind I do not like when most films do it, but it suited this film. I thought it was a clever move that I actually really liked.
Prisoners is an outstanding movie that should have been nominated for several Academy Awards, and I would recommend it to all moviegoers, especially fans of drama and thrillers.
A dedicated father will do anything he can to find his missing daughter, while the police are only finding more leads to the kidnapping.
Best Performance: Hugh Jackman
