Prisoners

What I liked:

• It's interesting, intense and suspenseful.
• Hugh Jackman gives one of his best performances.
• Great acting by Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, and Paul Dano.
• Kudos to hair and makeup for transforming Leo.
• I liked the way that it ended although I could see some people hating it.

What I didn't like:

• I have a few questions for Dano's character.  Some things at the end didn't add up.
• It's a pretty long film but I am not sure what they could have cut out to make it any shorter.

Grade: A-
