The two youngest daughters go outside to play and do not come back. Within twenty minutes <em>Prisoners</em> has activated the single most reliable panic button in cinema — a child gone, a parent helpless — and then it does the thing that separates it from the disposable abduction thrillers it superficially resembles: it refuses to let the panic burn off. Denis Villeneuve&rsquo;s 2013 English-language debut runs two and a half hours and spends every one of them tightening. It is the most sustained piece of dread a major studio released that decade, and it is also a genuinely serious film about what fear licenses a decent person to do.</p>Tue, 18 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000
