Prisoners

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?

This was a great movie. Great acting across the board and a realistic story. You could relate to all of the characters reactions to this very traumatic event. You get very hooked and tuned in to the movie the whole time wanting to see how it will all play out. There were a couple of twists and turns that kept you on your toes although I was able to figure out the main twist way in advance. There are two big knocks against this movie though. First, the movie was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. There was no need for the movie to be two and a half hours long. Two hours maybe. Possibly even less. As much as you were hooked by the movie, you totally felt how long it was. Secondly, the movie literally ended in the middle of a scene. Won't give anything away but the detective hears something, turns to look and the credits begin. Very strange. Like I said - the movie was more than long enough and then they end it so abruptly? It made no sense.

I would still recommend this movie because of how good it was overall. Anyone who loves character dramas or procedural shows like Criminal Minds will undoubtedly enjoy this movie.
