It’s
always a joy to find a tightly woven thriller like this one, centered on
another emotionally intense performance from Hugh Jackman. Jackman plays the
father of one of two kidnapped girls who takes action into his own hands to
find them when it seems the police are letting their main suspect go. Jake
Gyllenhaal plays the detective on the case. The mystery isn’t too hard to
figure out but screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski gives the story enough layers to
great doubt in what’s going on. Denis Villeneuve directs after making the Oscar
nominated for Best Foreign Language Incendies. What else does this Canadian
director have in store? I can’t wait. Grade: A-
