Fans Call The #1 Movie On Netflix “One of the best crime thrillers ever made”
We celebrated a 2013 psychological thriller cracking the Top 10 last week. So, we’re ecstatic that it’s now the #1 movie on Netflix’s global films chart. Congratulations to everyone that hit play on Prisoners this month, and helped a classic reenter the zeitgeist.
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?“

Prisoners was directed by Denis Villeneuve (Dune). It was written by Aaron Guzikowski. The movie stars Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Paul Dano, and Dylan Minnette.
Most Netflix viewers cannot wrap their minds around this stacked cast. There is praise for almost actor on the Twitter streets. However, the movie’s ending seems to have many folks frustrated.
