Prisoners

A shared holiday celebration for two small-town couples (Hugh Jackman, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis) dissolves into panic when their two young daughters go missing. The determined investigating cop (Jake Gyllenhaal) quickly collars a suspect (Paul Dano), who's just as quickly released for lack of evidence. One frustrated father (Jackman) opts to be judge and jury and kidnaps the man with the intent of torturing the truth out of him. Harrowing tale co-stars Melissa Leo. 153 min.
