Next will bé " identity"!....a must
This is a movie directed by Denis Villeneuve. I think he is a master director. He directed Arrival, Dune, and Dune 2, and Blade Runner 2049. Have you reacted to those films?
None of those at the moment! We’ve been eyeing Arrival & Blade Runner 2049 for a while though! 😄
Heard great things about this film!
@@OfficialMediaKnights If you loved prisoners you will love his other films! This guy is one of the best in Sci-fi. He might be directing a Rendezvous with Rama as well!!
Try to watch Blade Runner the original before 2049. Thank me later!! lol
I can't believe this film wasn't more of a commercial success than it was. I know people who've never heard of it, and then they watch it and are blown away. Easily one of the most underrated films out of Hollywood. The acting and directing are phenomenal.
This always snub Denis idk why but Dune part one is the first film he was nominated for best director……this should have won best original screenplay, and best actor for Jackman and Sicario should have won best director and best picture
And it made 122 mill off a 35 mill budget so it made a good amount of money
the movie was a good success, if i remember
@@xavierbouchez9227 I actually just Googled it. The film made $61 Million Box Office in the U.S., and 120+ Million worldwide.
I mean.. it was critically adulated. I recommend watching Villeneuve's french movies too.. he's a killer.
All of Denis Villeneuve films are mind blowing... This is shot by the GOAT Roger Deakins.. I highly recommend you to watch all of Denis films...
This was an amazing film we hadn’t had the chance to watch yet! What are other Denis films you’d recommend? 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights Enemy, Polytechnique
@F0lken it’s just Arrival
Denis finally won Deakins an academy award for BR 2049…..all of Villenueves films have amazing cinematography
Dune part one
During my internship in community mental health, I was the therapist for a torture survivor as well as for a survivor of child s*x trafficking. When I tell you that Paul Dano and David Dastmalchian put two of the most realistic portrayals of survivors of that kind of trauma in this movie is an understatement
What a masterpiece! Hugh Jackman was robbed, he wasn’t even nominated.
I love how smart you guys are and have filmmaking knowledge so that help to be better than other reactors. I would love for y’all to react to one or both but two recent tv show masterpieces in Barry, the final seasons released on April 16th and Severance, both are masterpieces and I would love to see y’all react to those.
It is a crime that he wasn’t even nominated! What the hell!? This was an amazing performance.
Thank you so much for your kind words it’s an honor being able to entertain you guys!
We’ve been meaning to give Barry a watch! Stay tuned for when we upload that one!
@@OfficialMediaKnights For Me, Jake Gy... was robbed too! :)
Bruh that fuckin shot of the drive to the hospital... Roger Deakins is a magician.
I've never considered this to have an open ending. I think it's more than safe to assume that the detective finds him and then he likely would stand trial for the kidnapping and torture.
Jake literally heard Hugh blowing the whistle.. ..its as open an ending as Inception..
You guys are smart, story-savvy viewers, I would love to see more discussion at the end where you could fully unpack your thoughts!
Thank you so much for watching with us and for your kind words! We're taking notes!
This a very good and very well thought out psychological thriller film.
It is fantastic! The entire film had us gripped until the very last frame. 😃
Also, I don't know if y'all mentioned it but the man in the Priest's basement with the maze pendant necklace was the husband to the old woman who took the girls.
Yup! I believe we comment on that later in the vid 😃
I saw this movie when it was first released in theaters and I was blown away. This is an incredible movie and it is a crime that it was ignored by the Oscars.
It should've been nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor(Hugh Jackman), & Supporting Actor (Paul Dano). No question that this is a difficult film to watch, yet the acting and writing are absolutely superb, and despite the tension you cannot turn away from it.
Your reactions are great and you followed it very closely. Good job, and thanks for watching this.
That last scene with the driving is SO intense. My anxiety went through the roof.
Imho, Jackman should have gotten best actor. Period. He made you feel the pain and anguish
You guys should definetly add Se7en to the list. One of the best thrillers ever made by my personal favorite director David Fincher. I'm sure it will be fun for us to see you guys theorize everything and it will definetly be mindblowing for you two.
Adding it to our list! Thank you so much for the suggestion 😃 We love movies that make our gears turn!
Classic.. a couple of others they should add imo.. '11 Girl with the dragon tattoo.. '17 wind river and '13 side affects.. all have a similar story telling atmosphere..
Denis Villeneuve = GENIUS You MUST watch some of his other films, each is masterfully done. My 2 favorite films of his are Dune (2021) and Arrival. HIGHLY recommend them!
Thank you for your suggestions! Unfortunately Dune we’ve seen! And absolutely loved it but we can add Arrival to our list! 😃
Sicario is better than Arrival but all his films are amazing
Dune was a really bad story though. But this one was mind blowing.
Sicario is good but standard, Arrival makes you think
This was so tense!! Very impressive, and loved your reactions to it. I was so stressed but it is a very human story with some monsters peppered in.
Thanks so much for the support!! This movie definitely was a tough one and gave us such a strong feeling of anxiety.. just the unknown status of the children and the image of a father doing unspeakable things in order to save his daughter... It's tough...
It's so disturbing to think there are individuals like that woman alive in the world.
"Making children disappear is the war we wage against god." So. Disturbing.
I'm still waiting for Denis Villeneuve to make a not great movie! The guy is just a master of the craft, he is so meticulous, without making his movies tedious. I'd love to see you react to Arrival, Sicario or either Blade Runner 2049 or Dune. My personal favorite of his is Maelstrom but that's more of an art film and I'm not even sure it's been translated to English, this one dates back to when he was still making movies at home here in Quebec. :)
Oh wow! Maelstrom. Gonna research if somehow we can watch it for our personal use. We love seeing directors early work! Blade Runner 2049, Arrival and Sicario added to the list. These films we haven’t watched so we’ll gladly give them a try 😃
@The Media Knights If you find it, prepare yourselves for something weird. Like, it's a movie narrated by a fish so... 😁
@@OfficialMediaKnights Blade Runner 2049 is a sequel to a Ridley Scott’s Original Blade Runner. It will be pretty confusing if you watch the sequel first.
Nightcrawler is another great movie too.
Yes!!! 👍
Prisoners might be Hugh Jackman's best performance but Nightcrawler is Jake Gyllenhaal's!
We’ve been meaning to watch this and Donnie Darko for the channel. Heard great things about these films 😃
@@SpookyBibi24yes! Nightcrawler is amazing. Definitely Jakes best performance, he’s a mad man! Love it! Highly highly recommend that film
@kobewankenobi6803 Nightcrawler ie underrated. I'm not saying Donnie Darko is good or bad, but it wasn't my type of movie. I thought it was kind of weird, or maybe that was the point.
I just found y’all’s channel, and I’ve been binging! Love the way you both react to film…. It’s genuine and entertaining! I love this movie so much. It’s a hard watch that you want to keep rewatching! The performances in this are top tier. Hugh Jackman should have definitely received an Oscar for this one… you feel every emotion he’s feeling! 🙌
Paul Dano is such an underrated actor. So good in this!
It's 1 thing to mourn the devastation of losing a child , perhaps 1 day you learn to live with it ,I don't know, but to have a thief steal your child and not know what became of them is unimaginable to me.
Yes!! It's the not knowing that is devastating - answers you can deal with, but just the thought of your child being out there and still going through some horrible things.. We are not parents, but that pain must be unimaginable...
That ending makes you furious, amazing movie.
Ah man! I was mad throughout the film! Speaks volumes of how tense this movie is and how the performances carry it!
Dano’s character is so sad. Everything he was through then being kidnapped again and tortured. 😢
Right??? We were devastated when it came out he too was another victim.. man this movie was tough!
Great reaction guys , great choice ! I love this film and this director !
Thank you so much for watching with us! This will not be the last film of his we react to on the channel. He is fantastic!
dont get me wrong, i LOVED Pedro Pascal as Joel in The Last of Us. but when i watched this movie the first time, it's what made me want Hugh Jackman as live action Joel lol.
so many ppl have had this same ideology - and i too have held this strong to me, i really wished they chose hugh instead he just looks more joe like
For another quality dark thriller, watch Se7en. For another Villeneuve/Deakins collab, watch Sicario. You’ll love both!
Thanks so much for your recommendations, we appreciate you!! Definitely adding them to our list!!
Great reaction! Nice quality overrall and love how you're thinking aloud so we can follow your thoughts. Great vid, keep up the great work! :)
Thanks so much for your support and kind words, we appreciate it deeply!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Would love to see you keep going, this is all I could want from a reaction channel! You two are so much better than the rest!
Good movie, but it was way too obvious it was the aunt from the start. People talk about how good of a detective Loki was in the movie, but he failed to suspect the most obvious suspect. If Alex is a primary suspect and he can't think straight or is dependent on someone else, then you should immediately suspect the guardian. For a detective who supposedly is good at solving cases, he should have had it wrapped up from the jump.
Edit: Also the craziest scene in this movie was when Barry's mother talked about how her child was taken by someone in an RV and she asks Loki, "What do you think that means?" Well, obviously it means the family with that RV is involved. Loki was way too slow with details. The aunt obviously lied about hearing nothing, there was the RV connection, he should have made the husband connection sooner. I am still so confused on how the aunt got a pass from the beginning it just doesn't make sense. She is the most OBVIOUS suspect. Her being the suspect was more obvious than the suspect in the Glass Onion movie.
I made the aunt connection when the priest talked about the dead man killing children and having a family... Loki was slow yeah
@@youssefbouchara1179 I made it the scene when Alex was signing his name on the paper and needed aunt’s help/supervision to do so.
I feel like a lot of ppl miss so many details of this movie... alex was the kid who was kidnapped 26 years ago... for whatever reason, they didnt kill him. The dead body had the maze necklace on.... also, i hate the ending!! ❤ your reactions!
I found this channel through your Aliens reaction, however Prisoners is my favorite movie by far. So glad I found this
I like that this movie has Wolverine, Mysterio, Riddler(singing Batman song), Polka Dot and also James Rhodes from the first Iron Man movie. This is so funny to me haha
That Batman smells jingle is a very common and old kid Christmas tune. Lol
Ohhhh, we did not know that!!! Haha thanks for clearing that up!!
Amazing acting from everyone in this movie. Pretty unknown movie still, glad u react to it. Like your discussion thru it!
That not knowing feeling is the worst. I know that all too well. R.i.p Natalie
When I first saw this movie, when they were beating Paul Dano, it was extremely eerie that he wasn't talking at all. You took it as he doesn't know.. but shouldn't he be a little more... responsive? Human-like? His silence was really uncanny to me.
They already explain that he doesnt talk much because he had an accident with snakes that caused him to not talk much. In the conversation with the aunt.
"This is gonna be a tough film' 😂😂😂 oh my sweet people. You don't have any idea yet!!😂
My favorite thing about this film was I watched it 5 times praying for a different ending........on the 6th watch....I had the sound up louder...and I heard tge whistle 😂
I love this film..it feels so real with its performances...n I think any dad understands Hugh Jackman's character in this and that drive to do whatever you have to do
This film and seven are two top of the best mystery crime thrillers ever everrrrrr. Shocking masterpieces with incredible performances and story.
Have you seen Gone Baby Gone? With Casey Affleck and Morgan Freeman. If not, definitely one to add to the list
*Terrance Howard is good in "Crash" as well. That one has a pretty stacked cast and I enjoy it despite some people's criticisms..
The fact that Gyllenhall or Jackman didnt get an Oscar nod for this still makes me low key furious. 🙂
Denis Villenueve is a master filmmaker he’s never made a bad film…this and Sicario are fucking flawless Hugh Jackman was absolutely robbed of an Oscar nomination all Denis’ films get snubbed except Dune…..Jake Gyllenhall makes Detective Loki one of the best movie characters in recent years
We haven’t watched Sicario yet! Really excited to watch that one 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights it’s a masterpiece
Hugh Jackman, watch "Prestige" with him and Christian Bale or "The Fountain" intriguing and powerful film that many more need to watch.
I was never going to watch this again, it was so stressful and disturbing - but so good. Then I saw you did a reaction so I had to - your reactions are too good to miss
It's way easier once you know how it ends..
Most underrated movie by far.
What a film one of my all time favourites great reaction to
I suggest Mystic River if you two haven’t seen it. Amazing cast, script, story, and direction by Clint Eastwood.
Ohhh that's a good one, thank you!!!
All the actors did an AMAZING job but Hugh Jackman...wow...performance of a lifetime
They all became prisoners. Everyone. Paul Dano was in, there will be blood, the Riddler in Batman, and played a young Brian Wilson, Beach Boys , biopic movie. What an actor. I don't see how the entire cast, wasn't drinking themselves to passout, every night!! Directed by Dennis villanueve, a masterful job. I thought it was a Nolan brother... I don't know if Hugh was better here, or The Prestige! How there wasn't several Oscars for this movie, is unreal!
Enjoyed this, thank you!
i wish we got hugh jackman as joel for TLOU, cause this movie is pretty much his audition for the role.
“sus..” try a thesaurus yall hahaha. Love the channel
Dear viewer, we have stumbled upon thy pronouncement as we were most carefully perusing through the multitudinous comments that have been hitherto committed onto our channel. It is with the most exhuberant exhilaration that we thus proclaim our imminent acquisition of this... 'thesaurus',.. We humbly convey our most ardent gratitude to your vehement inclinations for a less colliquious conversation. Fare thee well! We cherish you most ardently!
@@OfficialMediaKnights V for Vendetta vibes lol.
one of my favorit movies, such great acting
Paul Dano would later direct Jake Gyllenhaal in Wildlife (2018).
Haven’t seen it! Is it good? 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights underrated
@@OfficialMediaKnightsyes, Jake is one of those rare actors who's so versatile, and so authentic in every role.
This movie is disturbing. After rewatching it with you on Patreon, I went to sleep and had a funny dream. Humanity was discovering that it was being invaded by a host of fake humans, manikins animated by pig's blood that would seep into their plastic bodies to bring them to life. It was then recommended not to feed pork to these fake humans, because it was like making them cannibals despite them (they were cannibals then without knowing it... where did I get this idea? 🤔 ). But it was tricky, because not serving certain people deli meats at parties and events was like saying "sorry buddy, someone has to tell you someday...the thing is... You're not a real human", which of course were very rude and impolite. So it was a real dead end, a really delicate thing in social relations and we didn't know how to make it less awkward.
When I woke up, I thought, "All of a sudden everyone knew that fake humans were fake humans but nobody ever wondered 'what about me? Am I a real human?' I'm sure I'm a real human but don't know why." Hmm... Westworld must have influenced me too I guess. Dreams are funny things, aren't they?
PS: you react to so many awesome cult and classic movies lately. This is absolutely great! 👌👌👌
Wow! That is quite a peculiar dream. Now we’re thinking are we fake humans? Oh god haha! Would make a hell of a script to be honest. Sounds very a24 with the abstract symbolism 😄 Also thank you for always being so kind. You’re truly amazing ❤️
Haven't seen this one, but I saw Tetris last night and loved it. You could probably do the 30 day trial of Apple TV just to see/react. I was gonna leave a comment on the Miles Morales trailer but kinda stalled out on the question who's my favorite Spider-Man. That's hard to say because all my favorites were actually clones/had their comic runs cancelled. Kaine Parker had a good run while in Houston, Tx. I got tired reading the wiki on that and didn't look up what issues they were.
Yes! We’ve been keeping an eye out for Tetris. Glad to hear it’s been received well. Gonna add it to our list😄 Also Kaine Parker! That is a name a don’t often hear mentioned often. Glad you’re showing him some love! And yeah I feel you on that. There’s so many runs that unfortunately get discontinued. We got Ben Reilly coming in for Across the Spider-Verse I wonder if Kaine could make an appearance for pt 2
The first watch of this movie is hard, but the second is twice as devastating when you know that alex is innocent the whole time
Not just innocent, a tortured damaged victim. Its so damn sad
3:58 - the first ever person to laugh at this scene and it made me laugh so hard 😂😂
Denis Villeneuve it´s a GODDAMN GENIUS
I love your honest reaction and commentary. I'd love to see you guys do a video on Blade Runner 2049
Thank you so much for taking the time to say something nice! Blade Runner 2049 and the original are both on our list for early summer ❤️
Guys if you haven't seen Sicario, the first one is directed by Denis and it's a great movie, really deep. Also have you guys seen the last samurai?.
If y’all haven’t seen Nightcrawler, Jarhead, or Source Code, Jake G. kills all of those.
One of the great things about this movie, aside from being from Denis Villeneuve, are the language traps. What we say, what we mean, meaning we attach to what we hear.
What a masterpiece! If you haven't seen it yet, watch Sicario (the first one). (It has a similar energy.)
We actually haven't seen Sicario yet, will definitely add it to our list!! Thanks so much for commenting again and supporting us!!
The fountain. Jackman and Weiss. Give it review. Curious to see what you both think of it.
I just can't figure out Hugh's strategy when he went to the aunt's house alone lol.
He went to find his daughter and play the guilty conscious thing because he actually did feel bad for what he did, but the motive was to get answers in his own subtle way, but remember he had to be careful not to get caught because Loki found out what he did to Alex.
@@INSTRUMENTALILLNESS I know I've seen the movie a few times.
@@SamJackson-xu1py 😎👍
@@SamJackson-xu1pyyeah that answers your question - he wasn’t set on it and wouldn’t just start toturing the grandma/ kill her. I also wouldn’t expect her to pull out a gun and have a drugged drink in the fridge on deck, it’s all crazy tho
@miekgg No he knew.
Hold on, is the Crazy 8 from breaking bad/BCS????
that movie hit me in the guts!
A+ movie right here, sadly not so popular as others in that time
He's really sus because he drove of in the RV ,plus its Paul Dano .
Amazing film !!!
Her: i really hope this is a fake out.
Me knowing whats coming: .....................................................................................................................😳😵🤯
Hahaha yeah in hindsight... It was wishful thinking!!
Sicario Is A Great Movie Too From Denis Villeneuve
Yeah guys, the clues were definitely there. I think you guys were focused a bit too much on performance and doing a reaction instead of trying to actually put the pieces together. Hugh Jackmans character was never a suspect, why go through all that to find his daughter then? lol just my 2 cents on this one!! Happy to watch tho!
Thanks for commenting! We never thought he was an actual suspect! Just that running away after the little girl says “you were there” mad him look super suspicious. This is just taking into account the cops perspective. Thank you for watching with us!
Lol they were trying to figure out who and what the whole time. Even with my full focus on a movie or show, I still don't put things together. 🤷♀️
Enormous acting by Hugh Jackman
going to request The Godfather, you cant go wrong with that film! Please react to it, its so worth it
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll add it to our list 😀
@@OfficialMediaKnights woohoo! 🙌👍🤩😁
Saw this in the theatre and the audience actually boo’d at the ending. I was infuriated by that, for them the whole film got discredited because the ending was left open.
Because it's not a film for dumb people. Send them to the next marvel movie
This movie is SO frustrating! So good but SO frustrating. Ugh. It will never leave you
You guys need to watch sleepers! Please
Straight up banger
This had us at the edge of our seat! Such incredible performances all around!
Yikes, liked and hated this film at the same time. It sure kept us guessing. Thanks.
I liked this movie but Hugh's character was so dumb in the end as he should've done at least a few things differently lol.
great reaction, I still don't know why the little black girl accused Dover, doesn't make sense with the following
She heard him talking to the aunt in the other room. She recognized his voice.
She never accused him. She was saying he was in the house she was being held in- she saw him there, which is what made him put the final piece together and rush over to the house.
i feel bad for the dad after all he did for his daughter!
Yes!! And to think that that boy was also just a victim... It's devastating.
I watched this like 2 weeks ago
Did you like it?!
@@OfficialMediaKnights yea I watched with my mom so you know how that went
Ooofff I can imagine.. this movie is definitely a tough watch...
10/10
Hugh Jackman’s performance was Oscar worthy. He was robbed.
Crazy when people defend the guilty & shame the innocent. If not for the obduction & torture 1 girl wouldn't have gotten away & the 2nd girl would have died from the injection. That was the "Win" you claimed wasn't possible.
#TheMediaKnights I think you both were too angry and not thinking straight while watching this movie! Most people clued in a lot earlier some near the beginning
React to jackie chan movie The Prisoner of 1990
This film hits differently before and after you have children. Having children, everything Dover did was rational. The police department was entirely incompetent and he felt he had to take matters into his own hands. Also, Alex WAS an accomplice, whether he was capable of doing that crime himself or taking legal responsibility is another issue. But he was an accomplice to kidnapping and he lied to investigators. Dover torturing would’ve worked with 99% of people, but didn’t work for that guy for whatever reason.
In the chance Dover is found alive, I can’t imagine a jury going too hard against him for what he did.
Alex was extremely mentally and psychologically damaged from his kidnapping and years of abuse. He was a victim. And, no, beating and torturing him was not rational at all. It accomplished nothing. Searching for clues and surveilling Alex and the aunt's house would have gotten him more results.
Alex literally told him that they didn’t cry until he left them. Any father who wouldn’t do that what Keller does to find his daughter in this film is no father at all imo
Aww, you guys are great.
I been a fan of this movie for...forever. So good. I may have mentioned before but you guys enjoy Haley Joel Osment and I don't see A.I on your vid list, so sad at the end....But, if you really want a few tears after A.I then watch Haley Joel Osment in Pay it forward. It's a tear jerker.
Anyway, love what you guys do here, very enjoyable. Thanks for the reactions.👍
One of the best films of all time. unfortunately for my taste one of your worst reactions.Talked way too much. Very too much !!!!! 🤷♂️😵💫
But it's all a matter of taste.
Definitely entitled to your opinion, but this movie truly has a lot that is worth talking about!
@@OfficialMediaKnights
but sometimes less is more. you can completely ruin a movie with too much talking. is my opinion.
You do realize it's 30mins of chatter over a 153min movie. So it looks like they're talking way more than they actually are because of the editing. Why do none of you clueless viewers understand this?
Take your own advice, and type less comments on youtube.
@@lockekappa500
Shut up and take a shit pal. 🤓✌️
I don’t mind some talking over a movie review, however it’s the incessant pausing and chattering over music reviews that absolutely drive me to the brink.
