Prisioners




Something common in all of us is that we have opinions, whether we’re talking about politics, religion, healthcare or ethical issues, and we all profess to be staunch in what those opinions are.  This film stars Hugh Jackman who plays a father whose daughter gets abducted, and while working with the local authorities he discovers the person who he thinks made the abduction.  Due to the lack of evidence the lead suspect was released, and Hugh decides to take matters into his own hands by kidnapping the suspected kidnapper, and torturing him until he reveals where Hugh’s daughter is.  While watching Prisoners my wife and I agreed wholeheartedly that what Hugh was doing to that man was terrible, and that he shouldn’t have taken matters into his own hands, but then we took a step back and asked ourselves if we were in the same situation as Hugh, then “what would we do?”
