Unfortunately, I’ve seen the Prisoners and, as with pretty much every trailer, I feel like the first 75% of the film has essentially been spoiled for me. So it goes.
At this time it looks like I’ll be seeing Prisoners for myself next Friday, September 6 at the Toronto Film Festival (my current schedule here) and I have high hopes for it given the impressive cast led by Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal and including Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano, Terrence Howard and Maria Bello.
The film hits theaters on September 20. Check out the clip below if you dare.
Keller Dover is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His 6-year-old daughter and her young friend are missing, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki arrests its driver, but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect’s release. Knowing his child’s life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?
