It's positioning itself as an early Awards Season entry. It has a premise that inspires both curiosity and shock. It has a wealth of wonderful actors in front of the camera, a talented foreign filmmaker behind it and a sense of style and cinematography that keeps the mood dark, barren, and depressing. Yet for all its attributes, its artistic aims and thematic concerns, Prisoners is a preposterous mess. Itâ??s 153 minutes of mindless moralizing lumped in with a slick, Se7en inspired police procedural.

Much of "Prisoners" is rather ridiculous (despite the fact that it clearly wants to be taken super seriously), and there's an overwrought quality to much of the acting, but it's still somewhat effective.

Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote the Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal movie, says, "I was very surprised that we were allowed to keep that ending." Spoilers start RIGHT AWAY.

Critics Consensus: Prisoners has an emotional complexity and a sense of dread that makes for absorbing (and disturbing) viewing.
