Prisoners

Keller Dover, whose six-year-old daughter has disappeared along with a friend, does not trust that the police will act quickly enough and decides to take justice into his own hands. Denis Villeneuve films this brutal and moral thriller with a coldness that makes the dilemma even more distressing: how far can a father go to save his daughter? Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal deliver the best performances of their respective careers. One of the most disturbing thrillers of the decade.

Villeneuve in Hollywood: as solid as in Canada. The ethical debate on torture and parental desperation is presented with an honesty that unsettles. Jackman gives the performance of his life.
