Love how Danos character hums the Batman theme and in another scene, Hugh Jackmans character asks him to stop speaking in riddles. And low and behold, Paul Dano is now the Riddler in the new Batman movie.
holy shat
Prequel!
The actor that plays the schizophrenic guy employed by the joker in the dark knight (Thomas Schiff) is also in this, and it's a similar character here. I think you're onto something.
Wow wow wow
Legit got Riddler, Wolverine, Polka Dot Man, War Machine, and Amanda Waller. Weird how Marvel and DC have caused this Six Degrees thing to blend into non comic films. Swordfish for instance has Wolverine, Storm/Catwoman, Howard Saint (from Punisher), Juggernaut, and the newer War Machine.
One of the best films of the last decade. The “Prisoners” term actually isn’t just the girls but multiple characters. I felt bad for Alex because I believe he was abducted and just kind of forced into that life. Everything he was taught was probably wrong and he didn’t know it was
He might not even consciously knew he was kidnapping. If he's stunted mentally, he may have just thought he was bringing friends home to play.
@@marianne5055 If they were giving these kids the drink to begin with it prob messed him up mentally being that young. We saw how it affected a grown man
but why would he say "they didnt cry untill i left them"
@@mephh6858
I don’t think he was trying to cruelly taunt Jackman, though it seemed that way in the moment. I don’t think he understands enough of what is happening around him to do something like that.
@@mephh6858 BECAUSE HE JUST DESCRIBING WHAT HE WAS SEEING.
I watched this movie when it came out and I clocked on to the aunt very quickly and I feel like Hugh Jackman showcased a more terrifying rage in this movie than in all his years as Wolverine.
I think the detective will find him bc you can tell that at first he's not sure of what he is hearing but then he's like "oh I definitely heard a whistle" and he asked the mom of the girl in the hospital if they found her whistle and she says "no,I bought her a new one".
I love this movie so much, but it’s not an easy watch. I think this is easily in the top three Hugh Jackman performances. He’s just so raw in this.❤️
I love the bit where he screams “SHUT THE F**K UP FOR A F**KING SECOND!!” at Loki, you can hear the mic cracking since it was so loud!
Hugh is phenomenal in this!
Imo this is his greatest performance, and he deserved an Oscar for it
One of the best directors working today. Denis is actually the one helming the Dune remake that comes out later this year. He also directed sicario and arrival. If you enjoy thriller and crime, I recommend sicario starring Emily blunt and Benicio del toro
Can't go wrong with any Denis Villeneuve film, he almost has just good ones, even the old ones.
Almost?
@@GoldMegamind there are some I do not enjoy, but I would say they are still far, far from being bad movies.
arrival was a masterpiece
@@user-vc5rp7nf8f It was pretentious, and to add to that, Sicario 2 sucked.
@@liamroberts1458 not directed by Villeneuve
Paul Dano is an underated actor
paul dano is my girlfriend
classic Paul Dano
No, he is not. He's been revered since There Will be Blood. He just doesn't get the big parts that classically handsome actors get, like Leonardo. He's a character actor, and people love character actors.
This movie was marketed so poorly (especially considering how good it is and how well known the cast is). I only watched it because I bought a DVD of Zodiac (a movie I love) and this was included in a two pack.
I saw this in the theatre, definitely an experience
@@cincinnatiowens Same. That scene when Gyllenhaal's character is rushing the girl to the hospital. My God. I was holding my breath. Just "don't wreck. please don't wreck"
that is quite the combo
I saw it when I was 16 a couple of months after it came out and it messed me up.
Really showed a whole morality debate and the ugly side of human nature.
@@svperstar A good one.
I think the passive torturers represented in the neighbour couple is a concept that is reflected in more people than we'd like to admit, and no one knows their capabilities in _every_ situation, but I don't think I'd feel up to torturing anyone I wasn't certain was guilty.
That's just it dover KNEW he knew. He was second guessing himself some but in his heart he knew. He even says it "What's fucked up about all this is I know you know" or something like that when he was about to let Alex go.
Even if every moment counted and you were even 95% certain he was involved? I'm sorry but he's getting some torture.
You guys should check out Sicario it's a banger.
Yep
@@muhammadhilmiramadhan3556 They're all good.
Among us the movie is batter
After having seen Dune, I honestly feel Sicario and Prisoners are his best movies
Denis Villeneuve is such a great film maker. He’s quickly becoming a favorite.
I aint usually a fan of long ass movies but this one had me gripped. Great acting by all and tense all the way through
I don't watch movies that deal with situations like this but I love watching your reactions so I'm here
Great performance by Hugh Jackman. Apparently this film really got to him, since he is a parent. A good horror film about a parent and child, is the fantastic South Korean film, Train to Busan. If you two ever get around to it, I think the missis would like it. Not too scary and is a great film.
Franklin saying that he would die for his daughter, but not kill someone who might be innocent, hardly makes him weak or some kind of hypocrite.
Top 5 movie of all time for me. I did not see the twist coming until the last minute. Great reaction!
Just wanted to say I don't think Alex/Barry kidnapped the kids or had any malicious intent. Since he has the mind of a ten year old he brought the kids over to the "aunt's" house, probably to play, and the aunt detained them. Or maybe he was just bringing kids back to the house for his aunt because that's what he was trained to do ever since he was a child and didn't know any different.
I'd given up on there ever being another movie that truly blew me away, but when I watched this it did. Loki definitely finds Dover btw. The movie leaves it up to the viewer but tells you enough about Loki to let you know that he gets to the bottom of that whistling.
Jake is such a versatile actor. Top tier. Detective Loki is a fascinating character because of Jake's input.
The acting in this movie is incredible.
I'm so glad I watch other people's reactions to movies I find interesting. You guys caught up on so many clues and hints throughout the movie that I was oblivious about. I couldn't figure out what she meant by saying "You were there", but you helped me realize she meant you were there because they probably heard him in the house but were tied up and couldn't cry for help out of fear. Wow, what an unbelievable movie.
At the end of this movie, ppl boo’d in the theater. I was floored by that.
WTF!?!?
I know it was probably frustrating not seeing how it ended, but it was good to sort of leave it up to you decide how it ended.
Great reaction as always! Villeneuve can do no wrong. Great script too though it's a bit different (the parents and teens aid Loki's investigation). I suspected the aunt early on because it was Melissa Leo. If it were an unknown actress I wouldn't have suspected her. ETA: my Chinese zodiac sign is the ox.
I'm also a Rat (hahaha that came out wrong), from 1972. Greetings from The Netherlands! Love your channel, ''Prisoners'' (2013), is one of my favorite movies of the last 10 years....
The low IQ suspect they torture will be playing The Ridder in the new Batman movie
That's a great role for him.
The Mrs: "he'd die for his daughter, but he wouldn't kill for his daughter"
Me: "a pacifist"
I saw it in theaters because I saw the trailer and it was super appealing, this is one movie I’m glad I didn’t miss seeing in theaters
I got the feels during the whole car ride & the arrival at the hospital. Hit me like a ton of bricks.
it's SUCH a good movie, but it's funny you guys solved it about as fast as I think most people did. only major downside, imo. (and holy cow I love this channel. my partner and I have the exact same relationship with movies lol. instant subscribe and binge watching the rest of the night)
Welcome to the fam!
i think it was more emotional for them too because they're parents as well
I must be the only moron who didn't figure this out.
@@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 I didn’t either lol
@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 same here. I was so caught up on whether Paul Dano and the other guy were red herrings or connected in some way that it never even occurred to me to think of the aunt. On my 2nd viewing it was pretty obvious tho 😂
The mazes were important because they were told if they finish it, they can leave. But the last one was impossible.
That's why the suspect dude was obsessed with it.
I don't think he was obsessed with them because one was unsolvable because the mazes he drew were all different. It wasn't just one specific maze. I think he was just traumatized and developed an obsession with mazes in general.
*End of Watch*
Y'all need to see that fr. Similar vibe to this one. Realistic af. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena
Good movie but fuck the ending lol
Some movies - Equilibrium, The Game (1997), K-PAX, Leon, Lethal weapon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Departed
Hugh Jackman Denis Villenueve (director) the screenplay and Jack gyllenhall all deserve Oscar nominations for this and it should have won for Jackman and Screenplay
Breakdown - with Kurt Russell - is another movie like this.
Good movie
Yes!
Thanks i need similar movied like prisoners
@@sasaha8389 'The Vanishing' (1993) is another good one.
Hugh Jackman, an absolute powerhouse actor
Denis just everything..
love his vision.
My God.
If you enjoyed this thriller, you'll also like Zodiac. I also think Mrs movie has a Jodie Foster look about her. She does, dun't she? Anyway, if you've has enough of the suffering, check out The Commitments for a really cool Irish/Soul comedy and if Mrs movie wants some payback, get Mr movie to watch Deliverance.
'Prisoners' is my favorite movie of 2013. But a very close second, and a film you guys should definitely watch, is 'Fruitvale Station'. A great true story with a breakout performance from Michael B. Jordan. But bring the tissue box with you though.
Life is not about blatant rights and wrongs, it is about the path we take from
the decisions we make out of the choices we have
and arriving at a place where we have to live with our decisions.
Somewhere down the path we will stumble and get lost in our assumptions,judgements, misreadings and misunderstandings.
This is a great film, and that ending is magnificent!!!
agree my man
Same year Denis Villeneuve worked with Jake Gyllenhaal on another movie called Enemy, highly recommend. This one will make you think a lot....it'll be way better if you watch it without knowing what its about
Rats and Dragons are great compatibility matches. Makes sense.
He probably would kill for his daughter. He is just not convinced this guy is guilty for sure. Torturing a guy that may or may not be related to the crime is pretty insane. Hugh Jackman heard him say and do a bunch of incriminating stuff but no one else has.
Gone Girl is sort of in the same vein, if "You" hasn't seen it
Gone Girl is awesome and has a great twist!!
Also love the satirical undertones of gender stereotypes and media sensationalism.
Once again you all are phenomenal. Put the story together even before it had ended. Way 2 Go!
This was Villeneuve's first American film but he was already well-established in both Quebec and Canada as a filmmaker.
His first 2 films, "Polytechnique" and "Incendies", were widely recognized for his writing and casting as well as his direction. Perhaps because they had subtitles they did not catch on in the States and, like this film, they focused on difficult issues. (Based on the mass shooting of women engineering students at a Montreal university and the impact of growing up a region plagued by ongoing conflict on generations respectively.)
Both are excellent and here are the trailers:
"Polytechnique"

"Incendies"

A short video essay on Villeneuve's depiction of violence:
ruclips.net/video/EDKoCbTiE7Q/видео.html
Denis Villeneuve is one of the greatest Canadian filmmakers of the century, and I'd highly recommend his early work like Polytechnique and Incendies.
Un gas de chez nous. He is amazing and I'm proud he's from Quebec! :)
Now we just have to hope the critics and fans figure out how to pronounce his name correctly. Lol
The Vanishing with Sutherland and Bridges.
This is an enthralling movie. I'm not sure why it's not more well known.
This reminds me of another great movie called "Nothing But the Truth" starting Kate Beckinsale. Both movies are terrific but little known.
Have you guys seen “The Omen” from 1976 if you haven’t it would be a good terrifying movie to watch
best director currently working.... his reel is unreal
Great movie. Y’all should watch the rest of denis’s catalogue too. Arrival, sicario, and blade runner 2049 are some of the best films ever made.
Just based on this video, I know I can't handle this movie. Thank you guys SO SO much for posting this. I'm so happy I get to experience the movie even though I'm not going to be watching it. This video was a little too intense for me.
EXCELLENT movie choice! Nothing but great performances.
Such a great film. Hugh Jackman was amazing.
@@YouMeTheMovies when is he not.... I love The Wolverine 😁
jake was a bit too emotional as a detective. if you watch videos of real-life detectives or have ever dealt with one, or have seen actual interrogations, they're all pretty level-headed and methodical. certainly don't go pulling suspects out of RVs yelling 'where are the kids' when they have limited information, don't have standing interrogations where they're inches from someone's face, and don't start attacking the suspect then letting him grabbing a gun.
I wish Hugh Jackman could get an Oscar, which he's waited for a long time. Actually, I find unbelievable to know that he hasn't won an Academy award for this performance despite being a talented actor. As far as i'm concerned, no one can get over him playing Wolverine's role.
Best Movie of 2013 and the Performances are Fantastic Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal
Great cast also, you can feel the panic feeling of loosing your child like that, not knowing where she is! indeed worst nightmare
High Jackman is awesome in this film.
It might be easy to have a blasé attitude about torture while you're watching a movie but the movie is clearly showing why torture is unequivocally a bad thing. Keller was driven to do those things not because it might be the right thing, but because he saw no other option.
Great psychological thriller
And psychological thrillers are best.
Love the heart rate monitor, nice touch
so depressing when you catch that the reason Alex went and parked there is bc that's his old house he was abducted from :(
Paul Dano was brilliant....he played a never ending hurted soul...
Mysterio, Wolverine, Amanda Waller, James Rhodes, the Riddler, Polia-Dot Man-
I bet you they all blame Tony Stark for this.
I'm so glad you guys got to watch this!! I highly recommend The Mist if you haven't seen it yet. Got my wife to watch it, and she flipppped out lol
The Mist is on our list.
@@YouMeTheMovies Are you a poet now? How romantic! :D
@@YouMeTheMovies You guys are poets and didn't know it.
I just heard this story on the Dougie corrado channel done in story format yesterday. Now i find out it's a movie.
My Chinese zodiac is the ox representing honesty, hard work, diligence, and perseverance.
They got the whole movie 25 minutes in 😂😂. I love it when people can crack movies early on
LOL this lady reacting is ruthless.
I forgot all about this movie I seen this in theaters this movie is and was so underrated and it shouldn’t be also they have a lot more stars and future stars in here than I remember I don’t remember the kid from 13 reasons why was on here Jesus this movie had STAR power
Viola Davis as well!! I forgot she was in it!
the soda bottle she made him drink is a mix of LSD and ketamine. A drug cocktail used in MK Ultra experiments. Massive dose of LSD + K hole = you are out of your freaking mind.
not a spoiler anymore but that dude Taylor wasn't involved in the kidnappings. He was a child survivor like Alex only he eventually got away. He got mentally messed up by the ordeal so he does all that stuff to try to understand what happened to him. He was legit honoring the girls at the vigil but he is so awkward and damaged that he can't help but be suspicious to police.
Randomly watched this a couple of days ago. Not seen it in a while and forgot how good Jackman was
@RussiantoIndia 😂
@RussiantoIndia my Dad is the same age as Mr JACKEDman and has a bit of a “Dad bod”, but I still love him haha
Die for your daughter and kill for your daughter are two different things. The second one makes you a murderer.
And even someone who has the mind of a child and you are not sure has anything to do with the kidnapping. For all we know at this moment, he might have just seen and played with them until the abducter came and took them and they started to cry. I guess God complex and vigilantism is in the DNA of some people. Scary world…
That’s why I was really disturbed at this film when I watched it at 16 and find it hard to watch on repeat viewings (despite being a great film), Keller literally beats the crap out of an intellectually disabled man and burns him despite the doubt about his guilt and the fact he doesn’t appear to have the functional capacity to do such an act.
Even Franklin is like “What the hell man!?” when he sees Alex bound and gagged.
Just saw this movie. Loved it. You guys figured everything out faster than me and my GF did. What I do really like about this is all the answers to the puzzle are in the movie if you watch closely enough. I think that's a feature, not a bug. They don't hide anything from the audience that is essential information. It's all there.
this was fun. interesting to watch you guys solve the thriller together
The movie "Life" with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds is really good, recommend watching that pleaseee.
Gone Girl, Zodiac (super underrated) FightClub... Look forward to the Fincher marathon...
How is Zodiac super underrated? lol
Fight club is great
The best Thanksgiving horror movie is Blood Rage, 80s slasher takes place in FL, in a very familiar (to me) apartment complex
If you don't mind subtitles, Denis Villeneuve directed a movie called Incendies which was nominated for best foreign movie at the Oscars.
Glad you guys watched this. Love your reactions, and this is a fantastic movie.
whoever suggested this is really trying to hit Mrs movies weakness for children right in the gut lol 😆 prisoners is a very heavy movie tho does make u feel sorta horrible after
they should really watch the first season of true detective
actually kinda wild how quickly you guys cracked this one haha
This is the second movie I've never seen, but unlike the other, this is the first I'm not familiar with or had seen anything about it.
New recommendation: Law Abiding Citizen. Insanely good movie, and just also happened to be sitting in the RUclips 'up next' sidebar =p
Yes 100% need to watch and react to this one if you haven’t seen it before.
Great reaction! I watched this recently and OMG what a thriller!
Loved and hated this movie equally.. I think they found him and yeah super confused with who was who with the boys.
Also have you ever watched LA Story with Steve Martin? That would be a good one to react to.
Give it up for Jackman's performance.
jake gyllen-hunk and hunk jackman are giving us everything in this movie
I thought the guy who had the boxes full of snakes and stolen clothes was trying to save/protect the victims "remotely", in a schizophrenic/psychotic delusion sort of way. He knows the aunt hates snakes, so it's his way of warding her off and away from the kids, represented by their clothing. He added real clothes from the victims to make the "ritual" more real and have more power. The pig's blood was just another step towards that end.
Mrs was in band?
It all makes sense now
She went to a small school. Everyone did everything. Sports, Band, you name it.
Three sport athlete and played in the jazz band!
The amazing thing about this movie is that people react differently to it. Parents mostly tend to turn to blind eye to the imprisonment and torture of the guy that was actually a victim too.
"Starship Troopers"would be pretty good reaction video, one of my favorite movies.
Denis' best film.
Impressive how you guys put everything together relatively early in the movie
This is an excellent film, overlooked by many.
Melissa Leo is spectacular. She and Denzel in ' Flight' and 'Equalizer' (2?).
Paul Dano is also brilliant in 'There Will Be Blood'...holding the screen with Daniel Day-Lewis...no easy feat.
7:52 I thought my guy whispered “like you” regarding the faking it comment lmao!!
Damn, y’all figured it out quick!
Good day! this is a fantastic movie! and you make me laugh so much!
lol nice touch with the heart rate meter
