Denis Villeneuve’s mystery crime-thriller PRISONERS is receiving a superb critical reception following the première screening at the Toronto and Venice Film Festivals. The gritty film is led by Hugh Jackman, who along with wife Marie Bello and their neighbours Terrence Howard and Viola Davis, face every parents worst nightmare when their two children are abducted outside their home.
We’ve a brand new UK quad from the picture also featuring the excellent Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano and Melissa Leo.
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?
PRISONERS is released in the US 20th September and the UK a week later on the 27th September.
