Prisoners

Prisoners (2013) is a crime thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve — watch it online on iFILM. Hugh Jackman plays a father who stops trusting the law after his six-year-old daughter vanishes on Thanksgiving Day. Jake Gyllenhaal is the obsessive, tattooed detective trying to beat him to the truth. Viola Davis, Maria Bello, and Paul Dano round out the cast.

Two young girls disappear from a quiet suburban street. A battered RV is the only lead. The police release their suspect — not enough evidence. Keller Dover refuses to wait. What he does next puts him in a place where desperation and cruelty start to look the same. Meanwhile Detective Loki follows his own thread, and every new answer opens a darker question.

Roger Deakins shot every frame in bleached Pennsylvania winter light, and screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski built a plot that earns its 153-minute runtime. One of the tightest thrillers of the decade. Stream Prisoners (2013) in full online on iFILM.
