when hugh jackman sees jake gyllenhaal and whispers "fuck me"... relatable™

DON'T 👏 BLINK 👏 UNLESS 👏 YOU'RE 👏 JAKE 👏 GYLLENHAAL 👏 IN 👏 PRISONERS

i love paul dano but i also love watching people beat the shit out of paul dano

something to lighten the mood

i imagined if this was directed by david fincher & i almost started crying

acting was invented in the scene where hugh is yelling and punching the car and jake just goes "HEY AY AY AY HEY AY AY AY AY" like that nine times in a row

Van Helsing's daughter disappears and he goes all Wolverine to find her. Deer hunting. Jingle bells, Batman smells. A creepy camper. Little Miss Sunshine's eerie brother. Djay and the Help grieve for their daughter too. Donnie Darko as a straight-laced cop with a neck tattoo. Taking the law into your own hands. Australian water torture. A Peeping Tom that gave me the heevy jeevies. A fighter's completely unrecognizable mother. A dark hole. A red whistle. A house of horrors. Jake G. was the shit. Hugh was so intense I think a vein popped out of his forehead. A hard watch, but a damn fuckin good film.

i've found the 8th wonder of the world...... it's jake gyllenhaal

For a director with such a consistent style and tone, Denis Villeneuve has been very hit or miss for me. Prisoners, fortunately, is a surefire hit. Incredibly introspective and viscerally realistic, it is an intricate and utterly jarring dramatic crime thriller exploring themes of family, obsession, and religion, using the viewer's innate feelings of uncertainty and fear to truly terrify. Hugh Jackman carries the film, but his performance is occasionally - like the ending of the film - comically over the top, and it's Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano who truly steal the show whenever they appear on screen. The real mvp here is the cinematography, I mean goddamn! Sir Roger Deakins deserves that knighthood and then some.

i didnt breathe for 2 hours 33 mins 12 secs

remember when that scene where jake gyllenhaal drives to the hospital in the pouring rain invented cinematography? because I do

Roger deakins picked up the camera he used for this movie and invented not only the entire art of cinematography but the also the 1.85:1 aspect ratio. the movie he created then proceeded to invent rain, plot development, and the thriller genre

Exceptionally well constructed thriller that keeps you engaged and invested in all the characters from start to finish. The climax / reveal is not as satisfying as the build up however, and is almost unintentionally comic. A small criticism of a great film. Jake Gyllenhall is terrific, yet again! And Denis Villeneuve adds one more to an amazing CV of watchable movies.

bad ending

Fantastic movie. Made me feel like i was a detective. It was like the ultimate episode of dateline. 

Also, I’d like to point out the fact that there is a point in the film where Keller Dover acts really well when facing Holly Jones, and then you realize that you’re just applauding Hugh Jackman at being an amazing actor. Amazing.

My parents stayed up an hour and a half past their bedtime to finish this. 

I still feel hyped up on adrenaline hours later.

this is a film about how police are useless, and you cannot convince me otherwise. they did EVERYTHING the fuck wrong. coulda solved that shit in like 72 hours.

70/100 based on 53 critic reviews

Can’t sleep after this one.

Absolutely perfect.

Jake Gyllenhaal I fucking love you.

this is not the representation Pennsylvania needed but i appreciate it

Probably should be a three and a half but bumping because of how great JG is in this. Melissa Leo is also tremendous.

The middle portion definitely drags a bit. Even with the character building being done it seemed like it could’ve been cut down. Hard to complain when Deakins and Villeneuve are controlling the sights though. It looks beautiful, even through the darkness and horror.

this terrified me
