My parents and I saw this when it was playing in theaters after hearing and seeing good reviews about it. While the movie is on the longer side, it does a good job of feeling like it's playing in real time. What makes it feel this way is how realistic it was through the actions and acting of the characters as well as the major events that occur throughout the movie. The movie felt so real, that it actually gave my sister nightmares (who had seen it prior).
The acting is incredibly well-done and it is so interesting to see how each parent handled their child's abduction differently. It really makes you think about how you would react in this sort of situation and how you could handle yourself as the situation continues. The best performances are found in Keller Dover (played by Hugh Jackman) and Detective Loki (played by Jake Gyllenhaal). Their acting is what keeps the plot moving forward, and it is done successfully.
Overall, I thought this film was really well-done and I highly recommend it. There are some scenes that are a bit tough to get through, but I don't want to spoil anything. The mystery in this film is constructed well, and the ending really leaves you with something to think about. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good mystery or drama film to watch.
