Prisoners is one of the those movies that you're glad you came across, the combination of raw emotion and extreme acting depth in both the leads and the supporting cast adds to the overall experience. This movie doesn't only express the extreme lengths people go to satisfy both needs and wants but the importance of sustaining moral apathy. Jake Gyllenhaul's acting was phenomenal as always, but it was Hugh Jackman's performance that gave me absolute chills in every scene, especially the car scene. Contrasting from his simple menacing Wolverine character to this emotionally drained father that longs for the return of his daughter becomes the very monster he was made to destroy.
