Prisoners

This is a recent movie starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal
Summary
-Keller Dover is a contractor with his own business. On Thanksgiving, his daughter Anna and her friend Joy disappear without a trace. The only lead is on an old rusted-out RV that was seen in the premises of where they disappeared. When the police investigate, the detective heading the investigation, Det.

Did You Know?
-During the scene where Holly makes Keller drink a tainted substance to find out where his daughter is strongly resembles a scene from the 1988 film The Vanishing and the 1993 US remake The Vanishing, where a character searching for his missing girlfriend is forced to drink a heavily drugged coffee by the kidnapper in order to be taken to where she is
-In one of the original cuts of the movie, Hugh Jackman was supposed to remain missing, never to be discovered by the police. This was deemed too bleak for the movie
-During the scene where Holly asks Keller to drink a little more was improvised. She thought Hugh Jackman wasn't drinking enough of the substance to be believable
-The symbols on Loki's hands are zodiac signs-Leo, Scorpio, Aries, Virgo. Jake Gyllenhaal starred in the movie Zodiac
