After his six-year-old daughter is abducted, a desperate father takes justice into his own hands when he loses faith in the detective leading the investigation, setting both men on a collision course as the search descends into obsession and moral compromise.
"How far would you go to protect your child?"
Really intense and well done thriller. One of the few in the last years with great performances by Jackman, Gyllenhaal and Dano.
It also has some content to chew. I really enjoyed watching it....
Certainly Villenueve's most accessible film, but still a very good one.
Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time....
What a powerful film and what a great acting. I just couldn't help rewinding various scenes throughout, especially when Jackman's character showed anger and frustration for either his child being abducted or having what he thought was the culprit being tortured, although getting nowhere. Definitely a must for Mystery/Drama.
8/10...
