The disturbing thriller Prisoners is out on DVD and Blu-ray next week.
Here’s why you should watch this brilliantly made, intense film…
Prisoners, meanwhile, deals with a not dissimilar scenario with maturity and restraint.
Its Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania, and two young girls suddenly go missing in the midst of the celebrations.
The surety ofPrisoners filmmaking is matched by its performances.
Then we come to Jake Gyllenhaal, whose performance may be the lynchpin in the films success.
His tattoos and prominent facial tic point to a difficult, perhaps troubled past.
His frustration at being unable to solve the case is expressed through his growing obsession and violent outbursts.
The case gets under Detective Lokis skin, and it arguably gets its hooks into the audience, too.
Prisonersis out on DVD and Blu-ray on the 3rd February in the UK.
