Prisoners

Prisoners, a great movie. One of the best thrillers of recent years with an incredible Hugh Jackman representing the human emotion in itself that manifests itself in the fear and anger of this man, who performing inhuman acts just to vent feels 'satisfied' of his 'search' of the guilty, It’s just gonna make things worse. On the other hand another factorial evidence no less than Jack Gyllenhall that represents the opposite side of Jackman: the rationality and consistency of this detective who acts intelligently and with the basic principles to solve the case; He doesn’t get driven and carried away by emotion in a way, or at least not as strongly as he had been for the other character, but remains focused, with ups and downs that will lead him to resolution. Prisoners is a technically perfect Villeneuve film, with a masterful direction that should be studied frame by frame but that loses something along the way in the narration. This also throws into the fray perhaps too many arguments and too many stories that then fails to develop completely and makes the viewer confused in a sense, maybe this confusion scares and intrigues even more in some cases, But you can’t deny that you could have handled it better. The first half is a tunnel of continuous emotions that do not end, triggers a strong subjectivity, telling a story like this that moves something inside the viewer from the human point of view, that as you go along in the film, It transforms into curiosity and desire for revenge, represented in his exaggeration in the father, who exaggerates as already said only to feel satisfied in the hunt for the guilty. So the second half represents in a sense more objectivity in the eyes of the viewer, where they try to understand and realize; despite this, it does not stop trying very strong things inside the viewer. A thrilling film maybe a little predictable after all that had thrown in the fray, but an incredible film and one of the best thrillers of the last 20 years.
