Prisoners
Crime, Drama, Thriller
Last weekend I went to the cinema with my boyfriend we decided to watch the Prisoners film. I hadn't really heard or read any reviews of this film so I went with an open mind.
Plot
Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) and Grace Dover (Maria Bello) are the parents of a six year old daughter Anna (Erin Gerasimovich) who goes missing with her friend Joy Birch (Kyla Drew Simmons) from the Birch residence. An investigation begins into the disappearance which is led by Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) who's only lead is a RV that was seen in the street the same day the girls go missing. It appears though that the RV lacks evidence and the pressure is on for Loki to find the girls. This results in Keller Dover taking matters in his own hands to investigate and try to solve the case to find the girls.
The only negative comment I could make about this film is the actual running time is 153 minutes, with this edging on to three hours this could put you off watching it. However, I would advise watching it as it is worth it.
I think all the actors did a great job in portraying their characters, you could feel the anger of both set of parents who's children went missing and I felt really sorry for them. I think it would question my own parenting skills (if I had any children) and from watching this film ensure they never left my sight.
Review
Prisoners shows a lot of emotional, tense and anger scenes and with its plot twists it's no wonder. It makes you question each character and their motives. It causes you to be on edge of your seat questioning who actually kidnapped those girls with the moving plot.The only negative comment I could make about this film is the actual running time is 153 minutes, with this edging on to three hours this could put you off watching it.

Verdict
The outcome is I actually really enjoyed it if you couldn't already tell! I would most likely watch it again and would recommend watching it. I presume watching it for the second time might enable me to pick up on clues which I missed when watching it the first time. The whole film kept me on edge and even though it wasn't meant to be a horror film I was gripping hold of my boyfriends hand throughout.
They have definitely left the end of the film open in case they release a Prisoners two which I will be very surprised if they don't.
