I loved Gyllenhaal's eye twitching thing he kept doing. 

[frodobaggins]

Detective Loki's hairstyle should've won some kind of award.
It looks so cool.

[lyricsfromsweden]

My favorite scene is when Loki is driving to the hospital as fast as he can at night, in rain-snow storm, blood coming down his face and into his eyes with a dying Anna in the backseat, with such powerful escalating music playing. It was so gripping on every emotional level!

This was the movie that made me want to see Hugh Jackman as Joel in the The Last of Us movie.

[Myvoetisseer]

Jake Gyllenhall is such and underrated actor. He just does not do bad movies. Kinda like Leo, when he's in a movie you know it's gonna be good

[davidfelter]

I really love the title because it REALLY fits. Everyone in the movie was a prisoner. The girls were prisoners to their captors, Jake Gyllenhaal was a prisoner to the case, Paul Dano was a prisoner to Hugh Jackman, Hugh Jackman's wife was a prisoner to her emotions, and Hugh Jackman was a prisoner to himself.

I remember that a friend told me "I almost died from a heart attack while watching this movie, I was so tense" and I thought he was exaggerating.

Then I saw it and I was literally screaming to my tv at the end of this movie. Excellent movie.

Loki's eye twitch was such a nice touch Jake Gyllenhaal is my favorite actor

[RecentlyDavid]

I have been binge watching Jake Gyllenhall movies lately because I loved Southpaw and Nightcrawler, and this was not a let down

[BrowncoatAllywang]

This movie got snubbed in the Oscar nominations in my opinion.

Hugh Jackman is a great actor, I just hate how most people would remember him as Wolverine. His best performance in my opinion was The Prestige.

[koppsr]

jackman said in an interview, when he watched this movie together with his wife at the premier, his wife was holding his hand in the beginning and half way through she actually let go of his hand.
his performance was that good!
i think he should do more movies like this, different from his wolverine character. he has so much more talent and layers to his acting, its sad to see it being so underutalised.

[dwant]

jake gyllenhaal becomes one of my fav actor after this film

[bendersnatch]

Underrated movie this is one of the best movies ever

[Mister.Psychology]

Jake Gyllenhal is one of the best actors of all time. Watch Nightcrawler and tell me if that isn't a top 10 of all time performance. He owns the role.

[KobesMind]

One of the best films i have ever seen!

[dopelobo_]

Prisoners is finally on Netflix and here I am watching a 9 year old review from baby Chris haha

[ChrisStuckmann]

This entire year has been very disappointing for me until now.

[limo]

After watching Brokeback Mountain, Zodiac, Prisoners, End of Watch and Donnie Darko I know that Jake Gyllenhall is one of the best actors working today. He has had stinkers but then of course so has Matthew McConaughey and look at him now.

[jiggleykrowzer]

Hugh Jackman was more bad ass in this film than all the X-men films combined.
