Starring our own Hugh Jackman with Jake Gyllenhaal and Terence Howard this is a story of the lengths two fathers are prepared to go to in order to uncover the truth and whereabouts of their two young abducted daughters. Set over the course of seven days following their abduction this movie is gritty, dark, bleak and harrowing and at times will have you on the edge of your seat.
Jackman gives a strong emotional & torn performance traversing the thin line between right & wrong and trying to keep it together for the distraught family, and Gyllenhaal as the Detective with a proven track record, is on the case and puts in another solid turn as he always does. But, this film poses more questions than it answers; our Detective overlooks a vital clue that you will spot easily if you concentrate enough & pay attention closely; and at 2h20m+ this film is 20 minutes too long.
It is certainly worth seeing and there are many positives & solid enough performances, but it is long & lumbering at times and it may test your patience. You decide!
