Landen D Movie that makes you empathize with parents of missing kids and makes you question the limits you would go to get them back. It shows how parents will often do whatever necessary to protect their kids when in immediate danger. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Stuid ending! Nasty long drawn out violence that made me think why am I watching this as entertainment? I wish i never watched it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Kyle C I had no idea this was Denis Villeneuve until after I watched it! It’s pretty different from his later stuff, but it’s very good. At its surface, it seems like a pretty basic detective procedural, but there’s some excellent character work and lovely twists to elevate it to near perfection. Performances from Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, and Hugh Jackman (some of the best of his career) really round the whole thing and keep it from getting too campy. The plot gets a little convenient and maybe a touch clichéd towards the end, but overall, it’s a really well-made, powerful thriller. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Peter G this is a top notch thriller from start to the last second literally, i see most nuetral reveiws are from parents, yes! this flick may not be for certain parents aside from that, i was on the edge of my seat, the plot twists are excellent check this flick out! not for light hearted veiwers caution, as you know, this director is not afraid to be graphic with violence towards children(Sicario), parents beware, everyone else, enjoy the demented and excellent show!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Stephen L Dark, gripping and deeply unsettling, Prisoners is one of the most intense thrillers of the decade. Denis Villeneuve directs with slow-burn precision, delivering a story thick with dread and moral ambiguity. Hugh Jackman gives a career-best performance, matched by Jake Gyllenhaal’s tightly wound detective. Paul Dano, Maria Bello, Viola Davis and David Dastmalchian all leave lasting impressions. The film’s emotional weight and visual composition are brutal in the best way. Suspense done right. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Ron W Great but disturbing mystery thriller with a nice plot setup, clues along the way, and a twist at the end, BUT the twist and ending seems awkward and forced like they realized the script was getting too long so decided "let's just have the character explain all the loose ends and questions in a monologue, the end." Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
