Prisoners

Prisoners

There is some hard hitting drama heading our way this autumn and one of the films to watch out for is Prisoners.

The movie sees Hugh Jackman return to a gritty role after his block buster exploits of the summer as he teams up with Jake Gyllenhaal for the first time.

Jackman takes on the role of a father whose young daughter has been kidnapped while Gyllanhaal plays the detective on the case.

Denis Villeneuve is in the director's chair for the first time since Incendies back in 2011.

As if Jackman and Gyllenhaal are not enough to get excited about there is a fantastic cast that has been assembled around them.

Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo and Paul Dano are all also on board.

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?

We are huge fans of Hugh Jackman here at FemaleFirst and it is great to see him back with a role that he can really get his teeth into.

Prisoners looks set to be one of the dramas not to miss this autumn... could it be an awards contender? We will have to wait and see.

Prisoners is released 4th October.
