Hi, Bryan Here…

Director Denis Villeneuve has given us one hell of a terrifying and highly suspenseful ride with his first major Hollywood film, ‘Prisoners‘. With one amazing cast, excellent script, and terrifying story, I expect Warner Bros. to make a decent buck off this flick. This is a story that is all too familiar in our lives, where it seems like almost every week, we hear a news story of a child in our neighborhood, town, or city that has gone missing. The reactions and damage this causes their families seems all to real and scary. And with ‘Prisoners‘, the violence and suspense never lets up.

And Villeneuve’s camera work is beautiful and haunting, as he takes us through the gritty and grimy underbelly of two seemingly normal families during the worst part of their lives. I have no doubt that you will leave this film shaken and looking over your shoulder for at least a couple of days, and won’t be surprised if ‘Prisoners’ were to show up come Oscar season. Excellent film.
