dark, unflinching

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2014)

This is a hard one to watch, though ultimately fulfilling. What would you do if one of your kids up and vanished? Prisoners asks this question.
Grasping at straws? Lashing out at those around you? Drinking? Taking the law into your own hands? Some of these are delved into in Prisoners and the caliber of cast makes it a must watch.
The camera work and detail makes me wish I had seen it in a movie theater. It's all depressingly blue and green. The movie isn't depressing, you'll be on the edge of your seat.
I don't know the director of this film, but he knows what he's doing. I will watch for his future work based on this film.
