Directed by Denis Villeneuve, this 2013 flick focuses on a father in a really bad spot trying to find his kid who's gone missing and how far he's willing to go to figure out what happened. Prisoners lands on this list because it gradually builds up the suspense. It smartly digs into the tough choices people have to make, peels back layers of the characters, and dives deep into what makes them tick. The suspense is heightened by the outstanding performances of Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and the rest of the cast, who bring emotional intensity and authenticity to their roles.
