Prisoner: I knew something about the director before watching "Arrival". I only watched "Border Killer" before, so I went to "Prisoner" to watch it. I felt like I missed it for many years. This is a classic suspense movie at the textbook level! That kind of restraint and exploration, heart-wrenching and close to the cleanliness of philosophical thinking about survival, is exactly the director's skill and pursuit. Super five-star recommended for reasoning fans. I have this kind of beauty. I recall the Argentine movie "Mysterious Eyes". The charm of the story is similar, but it deals with the last romance, and the director’s temperance is kind of Eastwood’s It feels that it is actually his own exclusive style. The movies of this man are all real guys with hard bridges and iron horses. From another point of view, he is a more intimate "Breaking Bad" style. The story is very solid, and the better part is the director's temperance beauty, performance and tone rhythm, both are excellent.

Ralph Dover: [Looks up at Keller, confused and distraught] Eliza told me they're dead... Is it true?
Keller Dover: No.
Ralph Dover: Well, she said... they found... their bloody clothes...
Keller Dover: Don't you tell your mother that. Don't you *dare* tell your mother that. Do you understand me? Now, I need you to listen to me...
[whispering harshly]
Keller Dover: I need you to stay and run the house for a couple of days; and you make sure she does not watch the news and when the paper comes, you just throw it the fuck away! Listen to me... We do *not* give up on your sister. We do *not*!
[pauses, while trembling]
Keller Dover: I'm gonna find her... I'm gonna bring her home. We do not give up.
Ralph Dover: You're gonna bring her *home*? She's *dead*, *you* can't do anything, you've been leaving me and mom here while you've been going out and getting *fucking drunk*! You think I can't smell it on you?
Keller Dover: [Keller grabs Ralph's shoulders, whips him around, and pins him against the wall in a fury] *SHUT UP*!
