After his 6-year-old daughter and her friend are kidnapped, a small-town carpenter butts heads with a young, brash detective in charge of the investigation. The father is a Bible-reading, deer-hunting survivalist. The cop, meanwhile, can't wait to get to the city. Feeling failed by the law, the father captures the man he believes responsible and begins to torture him in a desperate attempt to find out what he did with the girls, whom he's convinced are still alive.

MOVIE REVIEW

Man kidnaps child. Father kidnaps man. Father becomes kidnapper... And Prisoners is just getting going. The new drama-thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal is just that - dramatic and thrilling - and also unpredictable, entertaining and enthralling. Some would say Prisoners captures you, but not me, because that is a cheesy if not downright terrible pun.
