With mass attention wrapped up in Hugh Jackman's upcoming go around as everybody's favorite stabby mutant it's been easy to overlook the fact that the Australian actor has another movie coming likely to prove rather more substantial. Jackman takes the lead in Denis Villeneuve's
Prisoners, a kidnap thriller that also stars Jake Gyllenhall,
Maria Bello, Viola Davis and Terrence Howard.
Keller Dover is facing every parent's worst nightmare. His 6-year-old
daughter and her young friend are missing, and as minutes turn to hours,
panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been parked
on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki arrests its
driver, but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect's release.
Knowing his child's life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has
no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father
will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, may lose
himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between
seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?
With a September release date looming a second trailer and new poster have just arrived for what promises to be a taught thriller. Check it out below.
