Prisoners has the sheen of a prestige picture and the guts of Law & Order's best episode. A brooding mystery with the ambition of Silence of the Lambs or Zodiac, director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) skillfully maneuvers through a thick swamp of broad characters, exposition, and emotional rage. It's a slog, but a beautiful one. Clocking in at two and a half hours, every reveal is undercut by a lengthy journey to get there, making Prisoners more butt-firmly-planted than edge-of-your-seat entertainment.
Hugh Jackman stars as Keller Dover, a blue collar Pennsylvanian whose daughter, Anna, suddenly disappears after wandering off during Thanksgiving dinner. The prime suspect is Alex Jones (Paul Dano), a child-like introvert with an RV that screams “child molester.” Despite a thorough investigation into Jones' whereabouts the evening of the crime, Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) can't connect the dots. As he continues to search for evidence, Keller goes ballistic, convinced that Alex is the culprit and that “legal” methods of interrogation aren't enough to crack the simpleton. Everyone's a prisoner, one way or another, in Prisoners.
