Prisoners

Issues of child abduction & vigilante-ism are explored as drugs, alcohol, and frustration overwhelm those involved in the case; even taking some beyond the law. Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, and Paul Dano all shine in this all-star cast and give incredible performances in this dark & gritty thriller. Follow the clues as the search for suspects widens. For two and a half hours, you'll get twists and turns, but just when you think you got the ending all figured out, you may be surprised again.
