Prisoners (2013)

Director: Dennis Villeneuve

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Terrence Howard

When Keller Dover’s daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts.

The entire cast is absolutely brilliant in their respective roles. Casting was perfectly done. This is the most serious I’ve ever seen Hugh Jackman and he does it so incredibly well that I hade goosebumps more often than not. From the plot to the execution thereof was brilliantly done to bring us an unforgettable, thrilling masterpiece. Be warned, though, as the film is quite disturbing at times.

The film received universal acclaim, was a box office success and won a few awards.
