Prisoner: I knew something about the director before watching "Arrival". I only watched "Border Killer" before, so I went to "Prisoner" to watch it. I felt like I missed it for many years. This is a classic suspense movie at the textbook level! That kind of restraint and exploration, heart-wrenching and close to the cleanliness of philosophical thinking about survival, is exactly the director's skill and pursuit. Super five-star recommended for reasoning fans. I have this kind of beauty. I recall the Argentine movie "Mysterious Eyes". The charm of the story is similar, but it deals with the last romance, and the director’s temperance is kind of Eastwood’s It feels that it is actually his own exclusive style. The movies of this man are all real guys with hard bridges and iron horses. From another point of view, he is a more intimate "Breaking Bad" style. The story is very solid, and the better part is the director's temperance beauty, performance and tone rhythm, both are excellent.

The story is not complicated, but the character design is very good, the rhythm is very steady, and it is very deliberate. Everyone is a prisoner of his own obsession, and the theme has a high level, which is different from the general crime film. The final flip is too strange and inconsistent with the style of the whole film. Jack Gyllenhaal acted very vividly, including the detailed design of facial twitches. Paul Dano is too miserable here.

Keller Dover: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Keller Dover: [driving along] You know the most important thing your granddad ever taught me? Hmm? Be ready. Hurricane, flood, whatever it ends up being. No more food gets delivered to the grocery store, gas stations dry up. People just turn on each other, and uh, all of a sudden all that stands between you and being dead is you.
