Film Review: Prisoner

Prisoner: A superb, gritty film that depicts the out of bounds, immoral lengths people will go to in support of the moral imperative to save loved ones. It also has more than a hint of the pros and cons of following one's intuition -- it wins the day and destroys lives at the same time. Not sure if the movie was based on a book, but if it was, then I imagine that the book must be a page-turner. As with End of Watch, this movie is proof positive that Jake Gyllenhaal excels in good guy roles (e.g. Cop roles) that bleed over into bad guy behavior.
