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.

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...

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

Bruh that fuckin shot of the drive to the hospital... Roger Deakins is a magician.

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.

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.

You guys are smart, story-savvy viewers, I would love to see more discussion at the end where you could fully unpack your thoughts!

Detective Loki is one of my favourite movie characters ever. I just love his intensity and the absolute dedication to his work. If there were more police detectives like Loki then there would be much less crime in the world. Another great performance by Jake Gyllenhaal and of course Hugh Jackman too.

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.

This a very good and very well thought out psychological thriller film.

Imho, Jackman should have gotten best actor. Period. He made you feel the pain and anguish

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.

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.

Paul Dano is such an underrated actor. So good in this!

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.

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!

The fact that Gyllenhall or Jackman didnt get an Oscar nod for this still makes me low key furious. 🙂

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

Nightcrawler is another great movie too.

Dano’s character is so sad. Everything he was through then being kidnapped again and tortured. 😢

That ending makes you furious, amazing movie.

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

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.

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 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! 🙌

For another quality dark thriller, watch Se7en. For another Villeneuve/Deakins collab, watch Sicario. You’ll love both!

i wish we got hugh jackman as joel for TLOU, cause this movie is pretty much his audition for the role.

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..

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.

That Batman smells jingle is a very common and old kid Christmas tune. Lol

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

Hugh Jackman, watch "Prestige" with him and Christian Bale or "The Fountain" intriguing and powerful film that many more need to watch.

"This is gonna be a tough film' 😂😂😂 oh my sweet people. You don't have any idea yet!!😂

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

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!

If y’all haven’t seen Nightcrawler, Jarhead, or Source Code, Jake G. kills all of those.

Great reaction guys , great choice ! I love this film and this director !

Denis Villeneuve it´s a GODDAMN GENIUS

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.

I suggest Mystic River if you two haven’t seen it. Amazing cast, script, story, and direction by Clint Eastwood.

Most underrated movie by far.

All the actors did an AMAZING job but Hugh Jackman...wow...performance of a lifetime

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! :)

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 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! 👌👌👌

I found this channel through your Aliens reaction, however Prisoners is my favorite movie by far. So glad I found this

That not knowing feeling is the worst. I know that all too well. R.i.p Natalie

Paul Dano would later direct Jake Gyllenhaal in Wildlife (2018).

Amazing acting from everyone in this movie. Pretty unknown movie still, glad u react to it. Like your discussion thru it!

3:58 - the first ever person to laugh at this scene and it made me laugh so hard 😂😂

He's really sus because he drove of in the RV ,plus its Paul Dano .

The fountain. Jackman and Weiss. Give it review. Curious to see what you both think of it.

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?.

that movie hit me in the guts!

Enjoyed this, thank you!

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

What a film one of my all time favourites great reaction to

one of my favorit movies, such great acting

Hugh Jackman’s performance was Oscar worthy. He was robbed.

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.

Her: i really hope this is a fake out. Me knowing whats coming: .....................................................................................................................😳😵🤯

This movie is SO frustrating! So good but SO frustrating. Ugh. It will never leave you

Sicario Is A Great Movie Too From Denis Villeneuve

I love your honest reaction and commentary. I'd love to see you guys do a video on Blade Runner 2049

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.

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.

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!

What a masterpiece! If you haven't seen it yet, watch Sicario (the first one). (It has a similar energy.)

My favorite movie

i feel bad for the dad after all he did for his daughter!

Hold on, is the Crazy 8 from breaking bad/BCS????

Enormous acting by Hugh Jackman

A+ movie right here, sadly not so popular as others in that time

Yikes, liked and hated this film at the same time. It sure kept us guessing. Thanks.

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.

Amazing film !!!

I just can't figure out Hugh's strategy when he went to the aunt's house alone lol.

You guys need to watch sleepers! Please

10/10

“sus..” try a thesaurus yall hahaha. Love the channel

going to request The Godfather, you cant go wrong with that film! Please react to it, its so worth it

#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

great reaction, I still don't know why the little black girl accused Dover, doesn't make sense with the following

Straight up banger

I watched this like 2 weeks ago

React to jackie chan movie The Prisoner of 1990

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

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.

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.
