This Is The Type And Quality Of Film I would Expect Of James Wan, but Denis Villeneuve Is light-years Ahead Of Him,

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2014)

If you are a lover of suspenseful films then I highly recommend this one. This is among the better films of 2013 and I would not hesitate in voting for this one as the best film of that year.
The plot of the film is about the mysterious disappearance of two little girls while they are playing outside their parent's house.
Hugh Jackman plays Keller Dover a construction worker who is facing financial problems and barely making ends meet for his family. When his daughter is mysteriously kidnapped, he takes matter into his own hands by kidnapping a suspect whom the police release because of lack of evidence.
Seasoned actor Jake Gyllenhaal plays Detective David Loki who is assigned this case. Loki has a reputation for solving difficult cases and he takes this one as a particular challenge.
Both actors give a thoroughly professional performance. The direction, script, background sound effects and bleak atmosphere enhance this film. This is a film you'll be left guessing till the end and even a veteran film buff like myself couldn't figure out the person who was behind the kidnapping.
