Prisoners

Filmed in Georgia - Walton and Rockdale Counties. Two girls go missing. A father Jackman (The Prestige) will do anything including torture the man he believes to be the culprit (Dano from Little Miss Sunshine). The cop (Gyllenhaal from End of Watch) knows there is a connection; he just needs to time to put all the pieces together - problem is the girl's are running out of time. It's slow, but intense. It takes place across the span of seven days, but feels longer to give the audience a sense of urgency I think. Davis (The Help), Bello (Payback), Howard (Wayward Pines), Leo (Homicide), and Minnette (Saving Grace) also star. If you are familiar with a lot of mysteries and basic criminal psychology you will know an hour in based on evidence where the girls are, so it will drive you even more crazy wanting them to hurry up and figure it out. If you don't try to piece it together then you will be shocked. All in all, I say: RENT IT
