Prisoners: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

Prisoners: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Watched Prisoners so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Prisoners.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Prisoners?

Just got out of Prisoners and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Prisoners's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched Prisoners last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Prisoners?

Director clearly thought Prisoners was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Prisoners is the most overrated film of the decade

Honestly, Prisoners would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
