Bee and I went to the cinema last night to watch "Prisoners". We don't go that often and Bee always lets me take the lead and choose the film. I'm usually drawn towards either a bankable name, a witty script or a kick arse trailer and it's almost always a rom-com. Still, the lure of Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal was too great to resist. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't funny but it was, so good. This gritty drama just reeled me in.
Performances, from the entire cast, were sterling. There were moments when my hand automatically came up to shield my eyes, there were edge of the seat moments and parts were you were gripped with fear that the unmentionable had happened.
I wasn't wearing a watch but I can tell you that almost two and a half hours, flew by. I feel like this film will reside under the radar come awards season, but I hope not.
