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.

[@3cookiess]

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

[@stevenhigney3985]

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.

[@JPuReTaLeNt]

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

[@marianne5055]

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.

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.

[@shanoabelmont9004]

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".

[@abrahama.andraux8467]

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

[@prestuvius]

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.

[@Hoganply]

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.

[@coreyhall1150]

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.

[@gingerbreadman1969]

Even if every moment counted and you were even 95% certain he was involved? I'm sorry but he's getting some torture.

[@davidlukey5189]

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.

[@valmacclinchy]

Jake is such a versatile actor. Top tier. Detective Loki is a fascinating character because of Jake's input.

[@jamesjoseph1249]

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.

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.

[@johna3863]

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.

[@charliesmith3823]

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.

[@slimbrady6691]

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.

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).

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.

And even someone who has the mind of a child and you are not sure has anything to do with the kidnapping.

I guess God complex and vigilantism is in the DNA of some people. Scary world…

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

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.

[@kennethbryant5819]

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.

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" kzbin.info/www/bejne/baO2fJRvr8ungLc "Incendies" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp_clJ6prtl_Z6M A short video essay on Villeneuve's depiction of violence: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WuoHaYic54bbM
