Which is the best film in Hugh Jackman’s filmography according to AlloCiné viewers.

What is Hugh Jackman’s best movie?

The 55-year-old actor has acted in 47 films during his 25-year career. With an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars for 35,259 ratings and 2,066 reviews, Denis Villeneuve’s thriller Prisoners is the highest rated film of Denis Villeneuve’s career. Hugh Jackman By AlloCiné viewers. It is also the highest rated film in the filmography of Jake Gyllenhaal and Denis Villeneuve.

Released in 2013, this dark thriller takes place in the suburbs of Boston. Two 6-year-old girls, Anna and Joy, have disappeared. Detective Locke (Gyllenhaal) supports the abduction theory after the testimony of Anna’s father, Keller (Jackman). Suspect #1 was quickly arrested but released a few days later due to lack of evidence, angering Keller. Blinded by his pain, the devastated father then begins a battle against time to find the missing children. Loki, on the other hand, tries to find clues to catch the culprit before Keller does the irreparable… As the days pass, the chances of finding the little girls dwindle…

Intensive preparation

To get to Keller Dover’s position, Hugh Jackman did a lot of research, especially on “survivalism” (a term that refers to the lifestyle of individuals who want to prepare for a hypothetical disaster). Because his character was a former alcoholic, the actor also learned about alcoholism, as well as the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation.

The actor also prepared certain scenes at the request of the future director of Dune, including one of the most intense in the film. When Keller comes face-to-face with Alex Jones (played onscreen by Paul Dano)—the suspect in her daughter’s kidnapping—she sets the scene with a hammer. In this sequence, Keller Dover takes a hammer and hits the wall next to Alex Jones’ head to scare him. Paul Dano – uninformed about the scene – literally fell to his knees. Ten years later, Hugh Jackman commented on Sirius XM:How did Paul Dano manage to talk to me again after that? I have no idea.”

And this intensity, this darkness of the character clearly surprised the audience.

Tony-76 from Club AlloCiné writes: “Prisoners is one of the most fascinating thrillers of recent years. You are literally stuck in your seat! I think this is the best thriller I have seen in my entire life. I can say that there is nothing to throw away. Everything is perfect, the choice of actors is amazing, the script is very It is inventive, the cinematography is brilliant, the direction of Denis Villeneuve and of course the soundtrack of the film is even cold and gloomy to make it a pure masterpiece in its genre, which is probably the best in his role as an inspector …) is definitely worth watching and I hope Hugh Jackman will be awarded at the Oscars.

For Moket it is “Hugh Jackman’s best role, full of desire for revenge and justice and animalistic rage like Wolverine! Opposite him, Jake Gyllenhaal excels as a ruthless and anti-social cop. This thriller captures the heart and plunges us into its dark world, where the line between good and evil is sharp…”

Hugh Jackman finally proves that he’s not just Wolverine’s interpreter.

Hunter Arrow writes: “You know, it’s rare, even very rare, to come across a film that we know from the first viewing that, even if it was just released, will undoubtedly become a reference for other films of the same genre in the future. Undoubtedly one of the best thrillers of Denis Villeneuve’s films, it offers a wonderful, especially a Hugh Jackman Which finally proves that he’s not just Wolverine’s translator. Seriously, maybe it’s the fact that I’m naturally sensitive to good thrillers, and even more so when they’re great, but I find absolutely nothing to criticize about this film. The plot is masterfully executed and if we can be disappointed with the outcome, it’s hard to be picky about a film that tugs at our hearts so much with a screenplay of rare intelligence. It’s a great movie, no doubt.”

Guest notes: Denis Villeneuve (fires) was still unknown to me before the prisoners. But that was before. After watching the movie, you can’t help but think that he will be a very famous director in the future. The filmmaker here offers us a film in the same spirit as someone like David Fincher’s “Millennium” or “Mystic Rivers”. Honestly, it’s been a while since a thriller has been this strong. The actors are really good. up. Finally, Hugh Jackman is playing a different role than Wolverine, which I was very happy about. He is very convincing. His character is really interesting after his daughter’s kidnapping because he loses his temper and doesn’t hesitate to do things that would have been unthinkable for him before. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a weak, unprofessional cop, very irritating from beginning to end, and has little interest in his investigation. That’s what his character wants. I think it’s great. Paul Dano is simply stunning.”

And finally, for Fundcoach: “Prisoners is a big slam, one of the best thrillers I’ve seen out of seven. Masterfully shot well. With perfect photography that lends itself to a calm, composed and perfectly framed staging. With a very cold atmosphere, quite heavy suspense. We don’t stand still for a second. We are enthralled from the start of the film to the end of the credits. The story takes trips: 2h30, the film seems to last less because it is so engaging. The story is very well put together, keeping you interested until the end… and I have to say, the actors are all incredibly accurate. Whether it’s: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal… they never do much and stay grounded and perfect in the role. A gritty thriller that will knock you out”
