Prisoners is a 2013 thriller film directed by Denis Villeneuve. The movie follows Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman), a loving and protective father whose daughter and her friend go missing on Thanksgiving Day. The police, led by Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal), begin a frantic search for the girls, but their investigation appears to lead nowhere.
Feeling desperate and frustrated with the lack of progress in the case, Dover takes matters into his own hands. He kidnaps a suspect he believes to be linked to the disappearance of his daughter and holds him captive in an abandoned building, where he subjects him to brutal interrogation and torture.
As the pressure mounts and the situation becomes more dangerous, Dover's actions spiral out of control and bring him to the brink of insanity. Meanwhile, Detective Loki struggles to piece together the clues and track down the kidnapper, but he finds himself chasing shadows and facing dead ends.
The film is a tense and gripping exploration of the lengths a father will go to protect his family, and the moral and ethical dilemmas that arise in such a situation. With strong performances from the cast, especially Jackman and Gyllenhaal, and a masterful direction from Villeneuve, Prisoners is a compelling and haunting thriller that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
