Plot – Spoilers:
The Dover family (Hugh Jackman as Dad) visit their friends for Thanksgiving in what is designed to be a regular family-type occasion – both having similar aged kids and all. Things coast along until they realize that the youngest kids in each family have gone missing. An RV trailer type vehicle had been seen parked nearby and a search for it soon ensues, with Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) in charge. When it is finally located, the driver Alex Jones (Paul Dano) appears to panic and drives into a tree.
Though Alex appears retarded, Dover believes he is hiding something, and worse, playing games and taunting him. As the stress of his missing daughter begins to eat Dover, he cracks and kidnaps Alex Jones, determined to torture the truth out of him.
Detective Loki has his hands full now with a couple of missing kids, a missing suspect and a distraught father bordering on criminal insanity.
Favorite Scenes:
1. The torment Dover wreaks on Alex in the bathroom is one intense scene. The violence is believable and brutal and when it culminates in the smashing of the sink, you’re almost glad it’s over. For now.
2. When Loki trails Dover one snowy day and conveys his suspicions to Dover:
You see two men who’ve been stressed for a week and close to cracking.
One works for the Law and is desperate to hold himself together but also has the onerous task of trying to reign in the other.
The other, through his loss, feels free of all moral conscience and law and is desperate to shake off this nagging nuisance of a cop.

Wowza,I really enjoyed the movie, top performances and it kept me interested all the time.
Solid…
Un film foarte bun!
What a great fucking movie. Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman complimented each other’s roles. Super tense and keeps you dialed in until the very end
Kid get a fuckin clue my nuts compliment my cock which is super tense & you should dial down on that shit brokeback boy
Hey Butch, you little sensitive gay fucking cry baby. Watch yourself on here. Little fucking pussies like you don’t last long.
Suck me off
Eat out my asshole
Is that because the pedo-steve crew pick them up?
Steve is all you gay fucking cry babies talk about. Do you worship and love him like a God, you fucking little pussies? Ha ha you fucking cowards.
Sexual predator
Steve is the King of catamites. That is the only reason he hangs around here. He cherry-picks and passes out to his friends. Steve never remotely talks about the films or has much of a vocabulary which is probably why him and his gary-glitter-gang were so hard-core against Matisse. She blew their minds.
Yup, nor do you. All you seem to do is talk about gay shit and bring up that tramp Matisse like she’s some kind of golden goddess. Btw what kind of moniker is that? “Ride-on”? Sounds like its short for “I want little boys to ride on my tiny dick”. Ever been laid? Doubt it, wannabe pederast.
Your film knowledge is lacking or else you would have understood the moniker. Plus I did write a couple of things about Destricted. You and your crew were terrorising Zed et al so maybe you missed it.
I also wrote about The Butcher Boy, Golden Glove and Sonny Boy.
So maybe you could let us all know when was the last time you wrote anything remotely about the films on offer. Or what was the last film on here you actually watched. Even with you lack of vocab that should be easy enough.
It was Zed and his asshole friends like Elliot that were the ones that used to ridicule people with personal attacks and threaten people all the time. They would threaten to get IP addresses and put kiddie porn on other people’s computers. Big bad cop Zed has cooled his jets a lot and isn’t so quick to threaten people now. I have written several reviews and have been attacked for my thoughts on films. Many times I have discovered that the people attacking me for my review have not even seen the film, in fact, many people who attacked me for my reviews have admitted they haven’t seen the films, including Zed. Personally, I prefer to stay out of the childish back and forth that goes on here. Get your facts straight before you “come out shooting.”
Sundance Kid really got you guys good. Look at how pissed off and upset he got you. Grow up you shitheads,
Swallow my load
thanks for the reviews…about to watch it now!!
I loved it, if I’d known how good this was going to be I would’ve watched years ago.
Definitely the best Hugh Jackman movie.
One of my favorite films of all time! Thanks for posting bud
