PRISONERS [2013]


Canadian director Denis Villeneuve has a knack for leading the viewer down some dark, disturbing and truly haunting passageways.
Prisoners is no exception.
A beautifully lit thriller that's dreadfully cold, tightly calculated and more emotions and reactions within each scene you can't help but want to follow each character as they go their separate ways.  This is easily Hugh Jackman's absolute  best work to date as he layers his troubled character with so many demons, emotional complexities and vulnerabilities that your heart wrenches with each thought he makes.
Quite easily one of the best films of the year that won't be for everybody due to it's cold, unsettling atmosphere.
