For all its quality, and there's plenty, it doesn't quite feel a thing complete. Its characters are disobedient, but their film is in part disordered.

A decent concept and incredibly impressive special effects are irreparably jolted by a shoddy script, one-dimensional plot and sluggish pace.

Prisoners, surprisingly for a film that lasts 153 minutes, holds you captive for the entire runtime.

Offers a convincing demonstration of the theorem that good writing and sensitive performances can equal an engaging and nuanced piece of cinema.

Formulaic though it is, the film is undeniably a lot of fun, with a good balance of peril, action, romance and humour.

By opening up his story Hood may reach a wider audience and this is a subject which certainly cries out for more attention.
