Prisoners

When Keller Dover's daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family?  

Starring Hugh Jackman as Keller, Terrence Howard as the other father, Viola Davis and Maria Bello as the their wives with Jake Gyllenhaal as the detective, Paul Dano as the suspect and Melissa Leo as the suspect's mother.  Needless to say a TON of stars.  The acting ability permeated through the screen and the suspense held you on the edge of your seat.  The plot twists at the end were great too.

This is one of the rare cases where the movie surpassed the previews as I thought the previews looked too vigilante.  I give this a one and a half thumbs in freaked out surprise grabbing the edge of my seat during the whole movie.
