Prisoners

This movie was harrowing. The concept of this was heartbreaking in such a moral,human and empathetic way that many “thriller”movies miss out on.I feel that the acting performances were some of the most real Ive ever seen especially from hugh jackman.He filled the long close up shots to the point of me wanting them to last a little longer.I love the moral dilemmas the the movie faces you with with battles on religion and basic human rights and morals.No spoilers here but the plot twist had my mouth open for so long that it hurt.It was so shocking and unexpected to which the point where after the shock faded I felt a little dissatisfied with it.Its a well made endearing that is interesting at a moral and religious (again) standpoint and it does fit but it doesn’t scratch the itch I wanted it to.The few fast scenes really felt heart racing and had me fighting for the desirable outcome.However I felt some scene orders felt repetitive such as SPOILERS: when the two dads repeatedly torture him to no result and when the old lady is giving instructions.The long cinematic shots were brilliant as always from Denny V and I also particularly loved the music and how it was varied on and sparingly used to enhance that heart drop feeling.Rewatch value seems below par as the things that values it’s run time is shock factor.One of the better Denis Villevinue films in my opinion.
