    It was very dramatic and compelling. The movie truly shows what parents may go through when their child goes missing. It has so much emotions.

    So many good movies out there to see. This one included. It tests a loving parent on how far would one go for their children. It tests the theory of innocence before proven guilty. It tests our judicial system and how it works or doesn't work. Good acting by all. And a bit of spoiler alert - you want to believe Hugh was saved.

    Those who have seen my video review of this movie, you already know how I feel about Prisoners. Well, for those of you who haven't, here's a written one. Prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal?, is one of the best movies of the year, and of the past decade. THE ACTING: The acting in this movie is terrific. Hugh Jackman gives the performance of a lifetime and is definitely Oscar worthy. Viola Davis and Terrance Howard also give excellent performances. The true standouts for me, were Paul Dano and Jake Gyllenhaal. Paul Dano gives one of the creepiest performances I've ever seen, and Jake Gyllenhaal gives an emotional element to the film that was much needed. 10/10 WRITING/S

    intense movie!!. Outstanding performances by Jackman, Jake and Paul Dano. Only complaint: about 30 mins too long. Otherwise, a very good movie.
