The #1 Thriller On Netflix Is One of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Darkest Films: “It had me shook”

A thriller with an ensemble cast has cracked the Netflix Top 10 Global Chart. The movie is serving mystery, suspense, and violence. This is why Prisoners is holding viewers captive this week. 

Synopsis

How far would you go to protect your child? Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), 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, he may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?
