PLOT
Pennsylvania. Keller (Hugh Jackman) and Grace (Maria Bello) Dover attend a Thanksgiving dinner with their family at the house of their neighbors, Nancy (Viola Davis) and Franklin (Terrence Howard) Birch. After dinner, the families' young daughters, Anna Dover (Erin Gerasimovich) and Joy Birch (Kyla Drew Simmons) go missing. Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) tries to confront an RV driver Alex Jones (Paul Dano) that had been parked in the neighborhood but Alex manage to escape. At least for short term...
REVIEW
Intense mystery thriller that is smartly constructed yet not perfect. But on the other hand you get these outstanding performances by Hugh, Jack and Paul (Melissa and other are great too) so you don't even feel the flaws. Furthermore: haunting atmosphere that unravels slowly, puzzles come together step by step and create overall exciting movie experience. Though, don't expect action scenes but some intensely violent sequences and more realistic and emotional road. One of the best films this year. 4/5
