Here's what the critics are saying:

It’s easy to make a thriller. It’s hard to make one that says something about human nature and then, like the hauntingly compelling “Prisoners,” finds something inside the genre that validates tying your nerves up in knots. — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Like the kidnapping at the tortured heart of "Prisoners," once this chilling thriller about a parent's worst nightmare grabs you, it refuses to let go. — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
If “Prisoners” upholds some of the conventions of the angry-dad revenge drama, it also subverts them in surprising, at times devastating ways. — A.O. Scott, The New York Times
I spent the first hour and 45 minutes of the film nervous, uneasy, fearing the impending doom in my chest. — Ian Buckwalter, NPR
