Prisoners

If you are looking for a thrill this weekend I suggest you see the new movie Prisoners if you have not already. This movie was fantastic! It had such a talented cast and Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal delivered their best performances yet. The movie starts out just like any other thriller, but when you really get into it, it unfolds so many different twists and turns that you don't see coming. They aren't twists and turns that are too jarring either, they don't stray you too far from the path and all eerily tie in together. There are some sub plots that always keep you on your toes so you're constantly trying to weight in to "whodunit." The use of cinematography in the film as well is brilliant and totally sets the tone for each scene.  The constant coloring of a gray sky almost acts like another character itself.  Emotions run high throughout the film, you are always siding with the "good guy" detective who is extremely smart and good at what he does. You also play detective yourself too when it comes to dissecting the other characters behavior. Toward the end, about the last almost full hour I sat there with my heart thumping. The way the movie resolves is stunning. It certainly takes the every day thriller up several notches in my book. Try and see if you can watch this movie not in the edge of your seat.
