PrisonersCxrsxn9.9· January 26, 2025FollowI am at a loss for words and can go on and on right now. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal give amazing performances and really show their range. I love the way this is shot, Denis you are a mastermind. I feel like there are so many layers to this that I’m still trying to unpack and am going to try and sleep on it. (Spoiler warning) Keller is definitely found by Loki. He’s too good of a detective to dismiss the whistle. Earlier in the movie, we see a similar situation with the fridge where he writes off his hunch but then goes back and checks it. The writing is on the wall that he finds Keller… but does he want to? Finding innocent children is part of his job, but does he feel the need to find Keller, who he believes is messed up (does he know that Keller kidnapped Alex?). Personally I think he finds him, and it seems like Denis and the film crew agree since they filmed that ending but scrapped it. Last note before I get fun with it… I’m really am a sucker for driving scenes like the hospital one at the end. This might be a top 5 movie for me (at least in the moment, need to let it simmer). If kids were getting kidnapped in my town Paul Dano and David Dastmalchian would be the FIRST suspects on my list. Also convinced that Paul Dano is definitely a masochist. If die hard is a Christmas movie then is this a thanksgiving movie?CommentsSign in to react and join the conversation.Sign inGet the app
