It's been a decade since fans initially saw Prisoners and watched Hugh Jackman portray a father who decided to take matters into his own hands after his daughter and her friend were kidnapped on Thanksgiving Day. As we all know the terror the Wolverine actor can strike into anyone, watching him stop at nothing to get his daughter back was a true eye-opener. From personally torturing a potential suspect to evading the police because he felt like they were dragging their feet on the investigation, audiences were rooting for Keller Dover Jackman to get justice for his daughter no matter the cost. Unfortunately, as the storyline became so meticulously intertwined in the end, plenty of Prisoners fans may have missed a couple of the truly incredible details that the writers threw into the original ending. By no means was this story a situation where everyone lived happily ever after, but some brutal justice was served to more people than you may think. After Keller Dover's daughter was reported missing, he believed that the person who lived in the mysterious camper that was parked on the street all afternoon was a suspect.

Now Villeneuve has made his first English-language film, Prisoners, a long, brutal and occasionally gripping forensic crime drama. Hugh Jackman stars as a man whose little daughter has been kidnapped; Jake Gyllenhaal is the cop assigned to the case, and Paul Dano is the disturbed individual who holds the key to the whole thing. This movie keeps plenty of suspects in play, along with multiple plotlines running and plates spinning. It all finally ties up — sort of. Prisoners is as involved and twisty as any airport bestseller: not an adaptation, though, but an original screenplay by the TV writer-producer Aaron Guzikowski. It obviously aspires to something more than pulp, with the pluralities of meaning in the title. The film gestures at agonised questions of guilt, crime and punishment: on the poster, the haggard and bearded Jackman has a Dostoevskian look that oddly does not come across in the movie itself. Perhaps most interestingly, Villeneuve and Guzikowski appear to be contriving some metaphors for the "war on terror"; some anxieties buried in the American psyche about just what is involved when interrogation is enhanced. After one boozy Thanksgiving lunch, the grownups let their two little girls play out on the street, close to where a creepy campervan is parked. When the two girls vanish, along with the sinister vehicle, a massive police hunt is directed by Detective Loki Gyllenhaal , who is haunted by the case and perhaps, in the time-honoured manner, by his own personal demons.
