What happens when you put Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Terrence Howard in a film together? Well, aside from the obvious visual benefits, you get Prisoners, a film about parents searching for their kidnapped daughters, and the detective who's trying to help.
Jackman and Howard play the fathers of two girls who go
missing one evening. They, along with their wives (played respectively
by Maria Bello and Viola Davis), turn to Detective Loki, played by
Gyllenhaal.
Paul Dano plays the driver of the RV in which the missing
girls were last seen playing... and yes, he does wear those creepy '70s
glasses you'd expect from an RV-driving kidnapper. But when the police
can't get anything out of Dano, they let him go. Jackman's not too happy
about that, so he then kidnaps Dano at gunpoint in an attempt to find
his daughter. It's like the Inception of kidnapping, if Inception had a declawed Wolverine.
It's also interesting to note that Loki is the Norse god
of mischief. Will that have something to do with Gyllenhaal's character?
I don't know, maybe not. Maybe I'm just excited for Avengers 2.
