Plot
When his daughter and her friend are kidnapped, a father takes matters into his own hands while a detective investigates.
Sinekatalog’s take
Villeneuve's kidnapping thriller asks how far a desperate father will go. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal are strong, the mood is bleak, and it holds a grip over a long running time.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
