The evaluation is a bit inflated, this film is dead with 7.5 points.

As someone who likes to watch horror movies, I don't think there are too many special features in this movie.

Does anyone think this movie is a bit too long like me?

Of course, I'll admit to being nervous during the lengthy process, a thriller feel, and super looking forward to the ending. Yes, a lengthy film can have a stunning ending, and it is fully worthy of its length! Like "Master Key".

did not expect. . . The ending really can't hold back the whole film, dears, and this uncontrollable ending has dragged on for so long. Is it really necessary to drag on for that long when Anna's mother chatted with the injured policeman? ? Black screen after hearing whistle. . . The black screen originally meant a very crisp, powerful and suspenseful ending, but I don't understand what it means to put it here, I can think of it with my feet and I will definitely save it.

There are too many trivial things to talk about. Although I have successfully created various tensions, I feel a little dizzy after thinking about it. What a priest, a maze, a suicide boy, it doesn't matter much, and the film is so long. too much! ! !

In addition, the film seems to also involve religion, but it is only a touch of the water, and it does not explain it thoroughly.

There are very few movies worth watching for two and a half hours. A good thriller is not in the length, but in the rhythm of the film! A tight plot! A clean ending, even better if it's unexpected!

I saw some people in the comments deeply analyze father's love, human nature, and so on. I think the film still focuses on the development of the case, and does not deeply portray human psychology or reflect the complexity of human nature. This aspect is not outstanding. So that doesn't justify the length of the film.

Recommend any movie I've seen that is comparable to this one. "First Degree Fear".

    If the demons are not removed, everyone is a prisoner.

    This film is too depressing, not what I like, I haven’t finished watching it, but I can still see the director’s skills in the part I watched.

Prisoners quotes

  • Keller Dover: He stays in custody till my daughter is found, right? Right?

    Detective Loki: We have a 48-hour hold on him. It ends tomorrow unless we bring charges.

    Keller Dover: Well, then charge him with something... Charge him!

    Detective Loki: Mr. Dover...

    Keller Dover: [Interrupts] Detective, Detective. Two little girls have *gotta* be worth whatever little rule you gotta break to keep that asshole in custody. Now, I know you can't promise me anything, I understand that. But I'm asking you, be sure. Be 100% sure...

    [Loki nods]

    Keller Dover: Thank you... I appreciate it.

  • Keller Dover: Why aren't you sending someone out to go arrest this guy?

    Captain Richard O'Malley: Tell Detective Loki what you just told me, and he'll definitely look into it. Go ahead.

    Keller Dover: [sighs and turns to Loki] That asshole you promised me you'd keep in custody... Right? And you didn't... And right now, when I grabbed him in the parking lot, he said right to my fucking face, "They didn't cry until I left them." Right to my fucking face!

    Detective Loki: He said that to you in the parking lot just now?

    Keller Dover: Right now! Yeah! What did I just say? In the parking lot! Before you grabbed me off him.

    Detective Loki: Did anyone else hear him besides you?

    Keller Dover: I don't know... He was quiet. He-he said it to me. He wanted me to know.

    Detective Loki: Are you sure he said that?

    Keller Dover: What?

    Detective Loki: Are you sure that's what he said?

    Keller Dover: Jesus Christ, you think I'm making this up?

    Detective Loki: No, I don't think that, I just...

    Keller Dover: Why would I make this up? No, no think about! Why would I make this up?

    Detective Loki: I'm not saying that to you. I'm just asking you a couple questions. I will talk to him, okay?

    Keller Dover: No, don't talk to him! Arrest him!

    [Storms out]

    Detective Loki: [Turns to Captain O'Malley] What'd I fucking tell you? What'd I tell you? One more day.
